42 Presidents Summary

The first five presidents of the United States impacted the United States greatly and their names were George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. The president I think that impacted the U.S the most was George Washington who was in office for eight years (1789-1797). George Washington who was the commander in chief and led the army in the Revolutionary War and gained freedom from Great Britain at that time there was thirteen colonies in the United States. In 1783 George Washington signed a peace treaty with Great Britain. John Adams which was the second president to be elected who was vice president at first for eight years (1789-1796) soon became president for four years (1797-1801). John Adams strengthened the central government by making the army stronger and he signed a law which is called the “Act for the Sick” which let government marine hospital service. Thomas Jefferson which was the third president was one of the more important presidents for the United States, he was one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence and he also organized the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the country known as the United States. James Madison Jr. known as the fourth president promoted the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. James Monroe which was the fifth president of the United States who was in office for eight years (1817-1825) and was the last president that was in the Virginia Dynasty and the Republican Generation.

Being the President of the United States of America is the most important job in the world. Similarly, the behavior of the person holding this position requires a

Former President George W Bush has a ton of strengths. He is a well-educated man, and the first president to obtain an MBA degree from Harvard Business School in 1975. On multiple occasions, he was calm and collected. The very first one being when he first found out about the attacks on the world trade centers,

All the presidents' men begins on June 17 1972 when five burglars broke into the Democratic National headquarters, which was located at the Watergate Hotel. Most of the Newspapers disregarded the story as just another break in but Two reporters for the Washington post stuck with the story till the End.

The President, just like any other man, must face the judgement of his peers and the comparisons between him and those who came before. The first four Presidents are no exception. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison all had highs and lows, but there are clear comparisons that can be made between them, and they can be rated using these comparisons. Based on each man's time as the President of the United States during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the first four presidents would rank from best to worst as follows (George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams) because of their foreign policies both during peace and war, their public relations, and their clashes with the constitution.

The Civil War is one of the craziest, saddest, and scariest wars in American History, which includes many reasons of “What does it mean to be an American.” My book Two Miserable Presidents tells the story in a eye catching interesting way. This includes perseverance, before the civil war started there were slave states and free states. There was not much controversy between them, besides the slaves, but they had no say. Perseverance goes for both “pro-slave” and “no-slave” people. When John Brown started the war after killing a pro-slave man James Doyle. During the war there is perseverance between both sides fighting uncontrollably for their side. The night after John Brown killed James Doyle, “When the bodies were found the next morning,

However, when confidence in the government is lost due to public crises, people seek a charismatic leader. As a charismatic leader, “men do not obey him by virtue of tradition or statute, but because they believe in him” (Weber 1946, 79). Trump expresses charisma in his determination and vows to make “make great America again”, which impresses his followers. Many may find Trump to be inspiring, honest, or courageous. It’s those unique characteristics that gain him authority and is a powerful form of domination that builds a close relationship between the leader and his/her followers. Trump does not abide by norms or traditional policies, he has a personal approach in the system. His passionate emphasis on his ability to restore broken policies and America, convinces and attracts followers that believe in his infallible

Being the president of the United States is one of the most prestigious and difficult jobs. The fate of millions of people rests in their hands. The president is the leader of their country. A good leader can bring prosperity wile a bad leader could bring death to a nation. James David Barbers article, “The Presidential Character: Predicting Performance in the White House” addresses types of leadership and how the president’s personality can affect their success in office. The premise of Barber's argument in The Presidential Character is that he believes presidential personalities fall into four categories and combinations of activity, passivity, positivity, and negativity and those personality combinations can be indicative of presidential performance.

“Presidents may be active or passive in terms of the effort invested in their jobs; they also may be positive or negative about their positions (Maltese, 164). In regards with President Bill Clinton and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, James Barber identifies them as an “Active-positive”. Active-positives display personal growth and stability, which they take pleasure in their job and the challenges they face with power productivity to pursue their objectives. Also, they pragmatic political figures that possess flexibility in their pursuit of achieving their goals and are willing to alter or abolishing their goals rather than experience severe consequences (Maltese, 164).

With the end of World War Two and the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, the United States emerged on the global stage as one of the planet's great economic and military powers. It is safe to say that with America's change in status, and in conjunction with profound industrial and technological change, that presidential leadership would necessarily have to transform yet again to meet a new era; nowhere could two different styles of leadership to meet the age be seen than in the Cold War administrations of Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. Both men would exhibit a unique style of leadership suited to the personality of each, and each style could be considered to characterize the administration of each president, but nevertheless, both men would also use very similar leadership styles when necessary in order to attain certain policy goals.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hops of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron,” said President Eisenhower on April 16, 1953. Dwight David Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States. President Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas, but he moved to Abilene, Kansas when he was still a baby. He had six brothers, but one of them died in infancy.

The notion of character is ubiquitous throughout the literature as a main leadership trait of a good university or college president. However, Hernon and Rossiter (2007) contend such superficial traits as charisma or charm often are mistaken for leadership. Ultimately, charisma is “ephemeral” (p. 72). The more important character traits include efficacy, caring, innovation, and influence, as well as the ability to effect change within the institution itself and the broader society. While charisma and outward charm may indeed be short-lived, especially in the absence of the more important traits, the literature does show that taste, appearance, and image still rank high on various lists of desired presidential qualities (Bowles, 2013; Goff, 2003).

If I were to be running for president, there are certain economic ideals that I would change to better the overall economic condition. I would keep trading higher because it is good for the economy, there would need to be an expansion for jobs in order to increase employment, and developing the taxation rate for the rich would also reform the economy. The macroeconomics theory displays the modifications in the economy as a whole. It presents how the infrastructure can change, how unemployment effects inflation, and vice versa. With these certain changes, a massive trading system, a boost in jobs, and a developed tax system for the rich, they will produce a stronger economy and have better ties with foreign nations.

The term the greatest generation was popularized by Tom Brokaw in his book titled The Greatest Generation. In this book he tells many stories of those who fought in the World War Two and their families. This generation grew up in the economic hardship of the great depression and fought in World War Two. Their upbringing affected the way the country was run for the rest of their lives. They created a sense of responsibility and camaraderie throughout the country. Those who fought in the war came home and wanted a simple life after their time serving and many moved to the suburbs and created a strong middle class. During the war many new inventions were made and were made available after the end of the war. The men and women who helped win the war made the United States of America a global superpower; both in terms of military, industry, science, and culture.

Richard Christie and his colleagues developed the MACH IV in 1970 (Christie, & Geis, 1970). This test was developed to measure political personality orientation (or Machiavellianism) of leaders in organizations (Moss, 2005). Political personality is a temperament in which formal and informal power is used to govern and/or manipulate others (Kaestner, Rosen, Appel, & Sofer, 1977). The Mach IV scale is the most widely used measure of Machiavellianism to date. The remainder of this paper will assess the reliability, validity, and generalizability of the Mach IV, along with the pros and cons of the measurement, and suggested changes that may solve these problems.
