    C-SPAN FIRST LADIES/JACQUELINE KENNEDY May 09, 2014 9:56 a.m. ET (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JACQUELINE KENNEDY: And I think every first lady should do something in this position to help the things she cares about. I just think that everything in the White House should be the best -- the entertainment that's given here. The art of children is the same the world over. And so, of course, is our feeling for children. I think it is good in a world where there's quite enough to divide people, that we should cherish the language and emotion that unite us all. (END VIDEO CLIP) SUSAN SWAIN: Jacqueline Kennedy's 1,000 days as first lady were defined by images -- political spouse, young mother, fashion icon, advocate for the arts. As television came of age, it was ultimately the tragic images of President Kennedy's assassination and funeral that cemented Jacqueline Kennedy in the public consciousness. Good evening and welcome to C-SPAN's series "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, we'll tell you the story of the wife of the 35th president of the United States, named Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. And we have two guests at the table for the next two hours to tell you more about her life story. Michael Beschloss, presidential historian, author of many books on the presidency, and has a special focus over the years on the Cold War era and the Kennedy administration. Thanks for being here. MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Pleasure. SWAIN: Barbara Perry is a UVA political scientist and as part of the "Modern First Ladies" series at the University of Kansas has written a Jacqueline Kennedy biography.

  • The Impeachment of President Clinton: an Ugly Mix of Three Powerful Forces
    POPP_FMT.DOC 11/14/00 10:55 AM THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT CLINTON: AN UGLY MIX OF THREE POWERFUL FORCES KAREN A. POPP* I INTRODUCTION President Clinton should not have been impeached by the House of Representatives and, once impeached, was properly acquitted by the Senate. Thus, it should come as no surprise that I agree with much of what Professor Susan Low Bloch has written in her article, A Report Card on the Impeachment: Judging the Institutions That Judged President Clinton.1 As Professor Bloch indicates, it is essential for us to assess how Congress arrived at the point of impeaching President Clinton, how the impeachment process itself worked, and what we can learn from it.2 Indeed, much has already been written and said on these topics, and these issues will no doubt continue to be debated and analyzed for years to come. So, how do I rate the impeachment process of President Clinton? I would give it a failing grade. Although the Senate reached the right result by acquitting the President, the fact that the Senate voted as it did is cold comfort. The impeachment process should have never gone that far. In effect, the second parachute finally opened, just before the impeachment process hit the ground. One nevertheless wonders, “Why did the first parachute fail?” As the events were unfolding, it appeared that the 1998-99 impeachment debacle resulted in large part from an ugly mix of three extremely powerful forces: an independent counsel who abused his virtually unlimited power; extreme congressional partisanship that was motivated by the desire to gain control of the government; and media outlets that continuously sought to profit from the sensationalism of it all and consistently flouted standards of professional journalism along the way.

When there is still interest in a book that goes back more than a quarter of a century it’s cause for celebration. So when you celebrate you invite a bunch of your friends in to celebrate with you. We're here with seven people who have collectively served on the White House staffs of eight Presidents.

  • Michael Beschloss' Comments on the New Encasement of Page 2 of the Constitution
    Name Date Michael Beschloss' Comments on the New Encasement of Page 2 of the Constitution Michael Beschloss, an American historian and specialist in the Presidency, made the following remarks as the new encasement for page 2 of the Constitution was unveiled to the public at 8:30 a.m. on September 15, 2000, in the Rotunda of the National Archives Building, Washington, D.C. We couldn't have more perfect timing than to unveil Page Two of the Constitution of the United States at the outset of the 2000 Presidential campaign. Page Two, of course, gives us the office of the Presidency. Without this page, Al Gore and George W. Bush might be running not for President, but for King or Chancellor or Prime Minister. And without the sacred document that contains this page, we might be living in a country dominated by tyrants or a foreign power. In the language of the 2000 campaign, the Framers of the Constitution were uniters, not dividers -- and they were fighting for us. The Framers gave us a document durable and flexible enough to take us from the agrarian land of the 18th century, of the musket, the axe and the plow -- to the country we know today, of the Internet and the human genome and a thousand different cultures living together in one nation like a glittering mosaic. When I was a ten-year-old boy growing up in Illinois, I read in an encyclopedia about how the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were displayed here at the National Archives. For a ten-year-old boy, it was thrilling - the hermetically-sealed cases filled with inert helium gas, the device that would plunge the documents into a vault underground at the first hint of fire, vandalism, or nuclear war.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 20, 2018 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL INTERVIEWS MICHAEL BESCHLOSS ON “CHICAGO STORIES” PODCAST What makes a great president? What makes a great war president? Can presidents be great without a war? On this week’s episode of “Chicago Stories,” Mayor Emanuel sat down with presidential historian Michael Beschloss to tackle these questions and more in a rollicking discussion that stretches from the birth of our constitution to the Vietnam War, and how the lessons of the past continue to inform our present day. Born in Chicago, Michael Beschloss has spent his career exploring presidents in war and peace, from President Kennedy’s brief but pivotal leadership during the Cold War, to the transition of power from President Roosevelt to President Truman during World War II. He’s now out with his ninth book, Presidents of War, which examines both the performance of presidents during war and confronts a central question about our democracy: has the President of the United States assumed the very war-making powers our Founding Fathers had sought to avoid? “When the Founders wrote the constitution in 1787, one of the things they were most worried about was that this new job of President of the United States might begin to resemble the dictators and the kings of Europe,” Michael told Mayor Emanuel. “The king would fabricate a reason for war, the country would go to war, and everyone would unite behind the king, and everyone would love the king again.” The Founding Fathers wanted to make sure that didn’t happen in their young nation, and the solution they found was to give war-making powers not to the president, but to Congress.
