Grover Cleveland President

President James A. Garfield was and still is one of the most respected presidents to serve in the White House. Millard 's book is split into parts, each part a significant chunk from Garfield 's life. Millard wrote of Garfield becoming president in the first two parts, then focuses more on his death in parts three and four of her book, and I found what she wrote to be fascinating. The book switched between telling the main events mainly from three people perspectives, which were Alexander G. Bell, Garfield, and Charles Guiteau. I liked that Millard incorporated the perspectives from the men and women that were instrumental in the downfall of Garfield. Her book is inspiring and very well written.

The 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is one of the most remembered and honored presidents in history. He accomplished more in twelve years in office than most presidents did put together. Nevertheless, most of these outstanding actions were a result of events that were not caused by him, but was handled by him in a very effective and efficient way. In conclusion, he totally reshaped the idea of being an American President for all future leaders, and formed outstanding relationships with the public through his fireside chats. These chats consisted of a series of thirty evening radio addresses that took place between 1933 and 1944. Roosevelt had a passion for government and greatly increased the responsibilities

Who was the greatest president of the United States? There have been many great presidents in the history of the U.S. Many presidents have led our country through very trying times.

Well it takes someone who has effective plans they can put in place to help lead this country, someone who can get the people and government on the same page (trust factor), they will have to be ready for any and everything, a leader of superior proportions. All of these traits are those that Mr. Roosevelt possess in the way he handled the Great Depression, thirteen million people out of jobs, and World War II.That is why I believe that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was truly the best president because he got stuff done, he was firm in his actions not just his voice.
