POTUS 30: Calvin Coolidge: The Last True Conservative?
11/17/20 • 41 min
Calvin Coolidge was a man who achieved resounding success by famously saying very little! His accidental presidency began with an unexpected middle-of-the-night swearing-in ceremony. By morning, this small-government minded politician was cutting the budget and reducing taxes. And when government action was called for, he stepped in when he had to, but controversially stepped out of the spotlight when private solutions existed. The ironically quiet presidency of the roaring 20’s, Silent Cal, Calvin Coolidge.

POTUS 11: James Polk: The Unfairly Forgotten POTUS That Changed the Nation
The very first political dark horse, James K. Polk. He paid his dues in state government and in the US Congress before unexpectedly finding himself up for the top spot in the 1844 election. He went on to win, and changed the make-up of the country quite literally from sea to shining sea. Expansion, War, Banking, he even implemented the whole idea of the postage stamp...and he did it all in just 4 years. So why is he commonly known as “the least known consequential president?”

POTUS 1: Washington & The Men/Women Who Created the Presidency
He was the first to raise his hand and take the oath, George Washington. When this national hero reluctantly took the job, he quickly realized he wasn’t just a figurehead, he had to figure out what exactly the presidency was. So like any good leader, he recruited some of the country’s best and brightest to help him, and while they didn’t always get along, they did create a brand new, uniquely American Executive Branch, that is still somewhat familiar today!
