Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845), one of the founders of the Democratic Party, was the seventh President of the United States, serving from 1829 to 1837. Although Jackson sympathized with the Southern interpretation of the tariff debate, he was also a strong supporter of federalism (in the sense of supporting a strong union with considerable powers for the central government) and attempted to face Calhoun down over the issue, which developed into a bitter rivalry between the two men. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Jackson      Biography of Andrew Johnson In 1864 the Republicans, contending that their National Union Party was for all loyal men, nominated Johnson, a Southerner and a Democrat, for Vice President. He pardoned all who would take an oath of allegiance, but required leaders and men of wealth to obtain special Presidential pardons. After Lincoln's death, President Johnson proceeded to reconstruct the former Confederate States while Congress was not in session in 1865. http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/aj17.html      George Washington - EnchantedLearning.com Washington was unanimously elected President of the United States of America by electors in early 1789 and again in 1792. George Washington (1732-1799) was the first President of the United States of America. During Washington's presidency, the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution) was adopted (in 1791). http://www.enchantedlearning.com/history/us/pres/washington      Welcome to The American Presidency President Washington acted with Congress to establish the first great executive departments and to lay the foundations of the modern federal judiciary. The Constitution designated the president as the only official charged with the duty of enforcing all the federal laws. Washington's last public efforts were devoted to opposing the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, which challenged his conviction that the Constitution decreed that federal acts should be the supreme law of the land. http://ap.grolier.com/article?assetid=0410800-00&templatename=/article/artic...      Andrew Jackson During Jackson's presidential years two states were admitted to the Union (Arkansas in 1836 and Michigan in 1837) and the rulings of Roger Taney, one of his Supreme Court appointments, had an impact on American life long after Jackson's retirement.

(Harpers.org) Bush said: “We're not certain as to whether or not they're keeping all terms of all agreements.” A White House spokesman later admitted that North Korea has not violated its single agreement with the U.S. and explained that although the president did not use the future tense he was in fact referring to future agreements. President Bush was apparently trying to kill the government's lawsuit against the tobacco industry by underfunding the Justice Department's tobacco litigation team. President Bill Clinton, on his last day in office, made a deal with independent counsel Robert Ray to avoid indictment for lying under oath, which concluded the $60 million Whitewater investigation and gave Bill Clinton banner headlines on the day of George W. Bush's inauguration. http://www.harpers.org/GeorgeWBush.html   (4730 words)      Living Word's Latest Sermons IS 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

Before becoming the nation's third President, Jefferson served as delegate to the Virginia House of Delegates, where he drafted legislation that abolished primogeniture, the law that made the eldest son the sole inheritor of his father's property.

Jefferson had told friends in 1793 that his "retirement from office had meant from all office, high or low, without exception." While he continued to hold those views in 1796, he reluctantly allowed Republican leader Madison to advance his candidacy—in part to block the ambitions of his archrival, Alexander Hamilton. These proposals, eventually published as A Summary View of the Rights of British America, asserted that the American colonies' only legitimate political connection to Great Britain was through the king, to whom they had submitted voluntarily, and not to Parliament. http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/VP_Thomas_Jefferson.htm   (5262 words)      Presidents' Day 2004 Virtual Prayer Rally I pray that You will grant the President the passion and the will to do all his work heartily, remembering that he is serving You and not men.

It is Gen. Goodpaster's assertion that because Eisenhower practically wrote the book on Continuity of Government, the practice of having Emergency Administrators waiting in the wings for the Big One was a tradition that continued throughout the Cold War and perhaps even to this day.
