  • Presidential Terms and Tenure: Perspectives and Proposals for Change
    Presidential Terms and Tenure: Perspectives and Proposals for Change Thomas H. Neale Specialist in American National Government October 19, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40864 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Presidential Terms and Tenure: Perspectives and Proposals for Change Summary The terms of the President and Vice President are set at four years by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. The 20th Amendment, ratified in 1933, sets the expiration date of these terms at noon on January 20 of each year following a presidential election. From 1789 to 1940, chief executives adhered to a self-imposed limit of two terms, although only 7 of the 31 Presidents from 1789 through 1933 actually served two consecutive terms in office. The precedent was exceeded only once, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to four terms, and served from 1933 through 1945. The 22nd Amendment, proposed and ratified following the Franklin Roosevelt presidency, provides that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” It also specifies that Vice Presidents who succeed to the presidency may be elected to two full terms as President if they have served less than two years of their predecessor’s term, for a theoretical total of 10 years’ service as President. If, however, they have served more than two years of their predecessor’s term, they can be elected to only one additional term, for a total of between four and eight years of service, depending on when the Vice President succeeded to the presidency.

  • Autobiography-Of-Calvin-Coolidge
    The History Public Schools Don’t Teach James Madison wrote that “a people who mean to be their own governors must be armed with the power that knowledge gives”. In “Democracy in America” Alexis de Tocqueville noted that Americans of his day were far more knowledgeable about government and the issues of the day than their counterparts in Europe. Tocqueville wrote “every citizen receives the elementary notions of human knowledge; he is taught, moreover, the doctrines and the evidences of his religion, the history of his country, and the leading features of its Constitution”. The founders knew that only an educated populace, jealous of their rights, would be strong enough to resist the usurpation of their liberties by government. Today many people know nothing of our true history, or the source of our rights. The mission of The Federalist Project is to get people the history public schools don’t teach to motivate them to push back at the erosion of our liberties and restore constitutionally limited small government. What we do: Use social media to better educate Americans on: Our true American History, and what the public schools left out. What History tells us about current events.

  • Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota
    Copyright © 2001 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota Harold H. Scbuler outh Dakota citizens came out by the thousands to welcome thirteen presidents from 1899 to 1999. Flags and bunting float- Sed from rooftops and doorways, bands played, and bells rang to mark each gala occasion. Cheering crowds jammed parade routes and strained to catch sight of the president. A hol- iday atmosphere surrounded the visit of William McKinley, the first presidential visitor to the state, when an estimated one hun- dred thousand people gathered in city streets and at railroad depots to see him. The only nineteenth-centur>' president to visit South Dakota, McKinley was also the only president unaccom- panied by the Secret Service. Established in 1865 to investigate rampant counterfeiting, the agency was not charged with pro- tecting the president until after McKinley's assassination in 1901. Throughout the 1900s, presidential visits continued to be awe- inspiring public events, with thirty-six South Dakota cities host- ing at least one president. More than patriotic pageantry for just one man, these visits were also the story of a traveling White House amidst a swirl of Secret Service security, press corps, and politics. William McKinley, 14 October 1899 n the third year of his presidency. William McKinley agreed to visit South Dakota on 14 October 1899 as a part of a mid- Iwestern tour. It may well have been the state's biggest one- day celebration as the president "was met with tlie most enthu- siastic ovation at every point," the Aberdeen Daily Neu)S report- ed.

  • Calvin Coolidge Came Into the World on July 4, 1872, in the Downstairs Bedroom of a Small House Adjacent to His Father’S General Store in Plymouth Notch, Vermont
    BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. Calvin Coolidge came into the world on July 4, 1872, in the downstairs bedroom of a small house adjacent to his father’s general store in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. Coolidge wrote of his fellow villagers: “They were a hardy, self-contained people.” A FATHER’S WISDOM. From his father, John Calvin Coolidge, Sr., the president learned what he called the “fundamental idea of both private and public business.” Over the course of his life John Coolidge served as merchant, town tax collector, general store operator, notary, selectman, sheriff, and member of both the Vermont House of Representatives and the State Senate. Wrote Coolidge: “If there was any physical requirement of country life which he could not perform, I do not know what it was.” 1 The Ouden. At Amherst College in Massachusetts, an institution founded for impoverished Protestant clergy, the Vermonter initially attracted little notice and failed, at first, to be admitted to one of the numerous fraternities. Senior year, however, his debate skills drew the attention of more popular students such as Dwight Morrow. Amherst alumni, including his future employers, began to notice Coolidge as well. A SimPle RentAL. The Coolidges’ home at 21 Massasoit Street in Northampton, Massachusetts. Home ownership was the rage when the Coolidges married in 1905. Yet the Coolidges rented their home, half of a two-family house. Their linens were purchased secondhand from the Norwood Hotel. 2 LoominG FIGures. Senator Murray Crane, from Coolidge’s own Western Massachusetts, helped Coolidge from his early days in Northampton politics. The reticent Crane became Coolidge’s mentor.

  • Hemenway & Coolidge
    He was called Silent Cal, and the nation laughed at his taciturnity, his frugality, and his dry wit. But the Great Stone Face hid a sweet smile and a terrible anguish. January 5, 1933 was a crisp mid-winter Thursday in Northampton, Massachusetts. In the redbrick Masonic Block, the city's most famous resident put in a short morning at the second-floor law office marked Coolidge and Hemenway. It was part of the comfortable routine Calvin Coolidge had adopted since leaving the White House nearly four years earlier. The 30th president of the United States made no pretense of being a practicing lawyer. Coolidge and Hemenway was a place to kick off one's shoes, lean back with a freshly clipped cigar, and pour over the morning's papers and ever-present mail. The latter presented challenges of its own, reflecting the severe hardship that had fastened its grip upon the American economy like winter descending upon the Connecticut River valley. One day a package containing a diamond bracelet arrived at Masonic Block, sent by an admirer convinced that only the parsimonious Coolidge could safeguard her valuables in these uncertain times. "He treated that diamond bracelet as if it were a scorpion," recalled Coolidge's secretary, Herman Beatty. The unsolicited package was hastily returned, but only after the former president filed a post office receipt in front of several reliable witnesses. Coolidge had always been careful with his money, his ideas, and his health. Now he remarked to no one in particular that he was getting to be an old man.

  • American Portraits 1 Calvin Coolidge, Reducing the Debt
    Calvin Coolidge, Reducing the Debt, and Integrity • Compelling Question o How can acting with integrity help to improve the lives of others? • Virtue: Integrity • Definition – Integrity is personal consistency in moral goodness. • Lesson Overview o In this lesson, students will learn from the example of Calvin Coolidge on how to use integrity throughout their lives. • Objectives o Students will analyze the decisions made during the presidency of Calvin Coolidge and how he maintained his integrity. o Students will apply their knowledge of integrity to their own lives. • Background o As World War I ended in 1918, Americans faced a bewildering number of events at home and abroad that contributed to a sense of instability. The war had brought on a Communist Revolution in Russia in 1917 that soon descended into the chaos of Civil War. The Versailles Peace Conference resulted in a treaty that severely punished Germany and created a League of Nations intended ensure world peace. However, the Senate refused to ratify the treaty or join the League out of fears that Congress would lose its prerogative to declare war and be dragged unwillingly into future European conflicts. Meanwhile, at home, several terrorist bombings by anarchists created a sense of fear,. In response, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer launched a series of raids against socialists and radicals resulting in thousands of deportations. There was growing consensus that immigration from Europe needed to be curtailed, and so Congress required immigrants pass literacy tests in order to gain entry into the United States. In addition, postwar inflation led to a series of worker strikes throughout the country while wartime spending had greatly expanded the size of the federal budget and increased the national debt to nearly $25 billion.
