Book Synopsis A History of the Presidency (Classic Reprint) by : Edward Stanwood
Download or read book A History of the Presidency (Classic Reprint) written by Edward Stanwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Presidency The basis of this book is the History of Presidential Elec tions, originally published in 1884. In the preparation of that work the meagreness and comparative inaccessibility of material concerning the early elections made the chapters that deal with that period somewhat barren. Increasing abundance of material and greater familiarity with the political history of more recent times caused a broadening of the plan, and led to the result that the later chapters of the original work, and still more the chapters added in subsequent editions, in 1888, 1892, and 1896, were much more than a history of the elections. I have thought that the usefulness of the book might be greatly enhanced by rewriting a large part of it, supplying deficiencies by a more diligent search for and study of the facts relating to the presidency in the early days of the gov ernment, and enriching it throughout with new personal, explanatory, and other enlightening matter, thus making the whole work uniform in method. This has enabled me to introduce a fuller discussion of some of the political problems to which the constitutional provisions regarding the presiden tial office have given rise. More important still, the revision and expansion of the work have given me a much-desired opportunity to modify some opinions expressed in the original book which a more careful and thorough examination of origi nal sources of information has led me to regard as not well founded. The last consideration has the more weight in view of the use that has been made of the book in the history depart ments of our colleges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Presidency: From 1897 to 1909 Tan election of 1896 restored to the Republican party the full control of the national government in all its departments. The situation during the second half of President Cleveland's second administration was abnormal and unsatisfactory, for the government was divided against itself to an unprecedented de gree. The Senate was still controlled by the Democrats and their Populist allies, by the narrowest of majorities, and the President was a Democrat; but the House of Representatives was Republican in the proportion of five of that party to two of the combined opposition.l Moreover, there was no real political accord between the Senate and the President. Ou the great issue of the times, the free and unlimited coinage of sil ver, they were actively antagonistic; and the closing chapter of the history of the Tariff Act of 1894 was still remembered by some leading Democratic senators, and the breach in their relations with Mr. Cleveland remained.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Presidential Elections I have endeavored to collect and present all important mat ters relating to the presidency, beginning with the constitu tional history of the office, covering every public event and discussion which had a perceptible influence in determining who should hold the office, and in connection therewith to note the origin and sketch the history of all political parties, however ephemeral, that rose above the rank of a local faction. And, since one President is different from another, I have tried to show wherein and in what manner the personal quali ties of the Presidents have affected the course of public events and of the national history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Presidents and Their Office, Including Parallel Lives of the Presidents of the People, of the United States and of Several Contemporaries, and a History of the Presidency No man ever excelled Lord Bacon in expressing a great thought in a few words: he says, "History makes men wise." In addition to making men wise, history contributes largely to their pleasure; and the study of history, like the practice of charity, should begin at home. To us, George Washington is of more importance than all the Old World Captains together from Nimrod to Kitchener. Thomas Jefferson more nearly concerns us than all transatlantic statesmen from Lycurgus to Lloyd-George. Whether we voted for him or not, William Howard Taft, our President, is of more interest to us than all the crowned heads of earth. Sensible men will welcome "Our Presidents and Their Office" as a timely and valuable contribution to our literature. The Presidency of this Republic is the greatest political office known among men. Whether merit or geographical location, whether luck or accident has elevated them to that exalted office - and in the elections of most of them there was something of each and all - they and their careers are well worth study.

He is at once Prime Minister and independent executive. He blends the functions of what in parliamentary government is the head of the Cabinet, and what in other government is the head Of the State. He is a vital part of the legislative power without being amenable to its control or dependent on its life. He is the framer of policies and the arbiter of parties. All this makes the election of President the central chord and the arterial force Of our broad political action.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the President's Cabinet It was upon advice with the late Professor B. A. Hinsdale that the author selected The American Cabinet for the subject of an academic investigation. But the assistance that was to come from one who was both historical scholar and father was soon taken away. The prosecution of the work has been several times postponed. But the period of delay has been one of phenomenal activity among librarians and editors in the field of Americana. And the slow com pletion has perhaps been justified by the use of larger stores of critical biographies and private papers. The latter kind of material is specially important to the subject; and it is one that, at the best, lags a generation behind current events.

Download or read book How Presidents Are Made (Classic Reprint) written by Arthur Wallace Dunn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Presidents Are Made There is a general impression that presidents are elected upon issues; that is, questions of national policy that arise from time to time, supposedly every four years. This is a mis take, as few presidents have been chosen on is sues, and few issues have been settled by presi dential elections. Personality and Opportunity have had much to do with the result, and it is interesting to note how often accident or inci dent has played an important part in president making. Parties are the natural outgrowth of politics. For the most part men have voted for their party candidate regardless of issues, often when they knew that the party candidate was not the best man and that the party platform was wrong on the main issues. Party allegiance in a large majority of cases overtops patriotic judgment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Presidents We have here endeavored to acquaint young people with the story of the lives and attainments of the men who achieved the highest civic honor in the gift of the people; and to explain, in a necessarily brief narrative, the history of our political parties, the issues involved in their several contests, and their differing administrations. The youth of the present is the President of the future; and an intelligent understanding of the rights and duties of citizenship is an imperative feature of his education. He will perceive that honest differences of opinion have ever prevailed, and that most of these have been settled by judicious compromises under constitutional limitations. The slavery question submitted itself to the arbitration of the sword, and was worsted; and the sin and stain of slavery was forever removed from our country. We have attempted to describe the things which have been accomplished in order that the young patriot may have the warning and the promise in the things yet to be done. At the cost of much blood and treasure is crystalized the Nation's motto, E Pluribus Unum. Let us hope and act so that it will be always "now, and forever."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Creation of the Presidency, 1775-1789: A Study in Constitutional History It has been necessary in the course of this study to pass judgment on points that have been, and are, matters subject to Vigorously disagreeing interpretation. Indeed, it has been necessary to defend the View of one political party against that of another. Under such Circumstances a mere disclaimer of bias may not carry much weight. But it can be said With entire truthfulness that the writer brought one set of Opinions to his investigation and came away with another. Nor does he doubt that the future W111 disclose, as the past has disclosed, more than one complete re versal of position on the part of those to whom consistency seems sometimes not only the rarest, but also the least of all Virtues, the leaders of the political parties.
