  • Jimmy Carter: a Moral Hero (Student Essay)
    Jimmy Carter: A Moral Hero (Student Essay) Danny Haidar (Utica Academy for International Studies) Abstract. Following the end of Jimmy Carter’s first and only term as President of the United States, historians scrambled to put his presidency in the proper context. More than thirty years later, Carter has become associated with failed presidencies. To be compared to him is to be insulted. Even so, Jimmy Carter has had one of the most prolific, philanthropic post-presidential lives of any former American president. This is inconsistent with the image of his single term in office that the media has painted—a good man should have been a good president. To better understand this irony, this investigation shall seek to answer the following question: how did Jimmy Carter’s pre-presidential experiences affect his leadership as President of the United States of America (1977-1981)? This article will draw on apolitical, supportive and critical accounts of Carter’s presidency, as well as Carter’s own accounts of his beliefs and childhood experiences. While historians interpret Carter’s life events differently, each interpretation reveals important influences on Carter’s leadership in the White House. I will argue that Carter held too tightly to his morals to be suited to presidency. Carter’s childhood and pre-presidential political experiences created a man who was, indeed, unfit for the White House. The problem was less with his political vision than it was with his execution of that vision. Carter’s tragic presidential tale serves as a reminder that moral malleability is a necessity in the highest office of a government.

Marshall, abolished the Civilian Components Policy Board in June, 1951 and created the Reserve Forces Policy Board. The Congress and President Harry S. Truman codified this decision in the Armed Forces Reserve Act of July 1952. The Board thus created has remained essentially the same in its mission and responsibility for nearly sixty years. The fundamental assumptions which created the RFPB, and its predecessor the CCPB, found in the National Security Act of 1947, also remain as true and relevant today.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School REMEMBERING JIMMY CARTER THE RHETORICAL EVOCATIONS OF PRESIDENTIAL MEMORIES A Thesis in Communication Arts and Sciences by Brandon M. Johnson 2020 Brandon M. Johnson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2020 The thesis of Brandon M. Johnson was reviewed and approved by the following: Mary E. Stuckey Professor, Communication Arts and Sciences Thesis Advisor Stephen H. Browne Liberal Arts Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Michael J. Steudeman Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Director of CAS100A Denise H. Solomon Head and Liberal Arts Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT This thesis is an analysis of the public memory of Jimmy Carter and the way the historical resources of his presidency (including his perceived moral character) are interpreted and evoked as a shorthand for presidential failure by associating him with a rhetoric of weakness. Broadly, I consider the nature of presidential memory, asking how a presidency passes from history to memory. I suggest that presidential histories serve as inventional resources in the present, with rhetors evoking interpretations of the past as rhetorical appeals. These appeals are acts of memory, and analyzing how they function discursively and are deployed strategically draws out how presidential memory works and what implications it has to presidential rhetoric. The different strategies used in remembering the presidency of Jimmy Carter are useful texts for rhetorically critiquing this process because Carter is often deployed as a rhetorical shorthand, providing a representative example of interpreting presidential pasts. I begin by considering the evolving scholarship and historiography on Carter and conceptualizing how presidential pasts can be interpreted in the present through acts of remembering.

  • GERALD FORD, "REMARKS on SIGNING a PROCLAMATION GRANTING PARDON to RICHARD NIXON, SEPTEMBER 8, 1974" (8 September 1974)
    Voices of Democracy 5 (2010): 72‐88 Sierlecki 72 GERALD FORD, "REMARKS ON SIGNING A PROCLAMATION GRANTING PARDON TO RICHARD NIXON, SEPTEMBER 8, 1974" (8 September 1974) Bonnie J. Sierlecki The Pennsylvania State University Abstract: Gerald Ford, the only politician to serve as vice‐president and president without being elected to either office, is primarily remembered for pardoning Richard M. Nixon following the Watergate scandal. The defining moment of Ford's presidency is considered by many to be a rhetorical failure in the short term because he did not satisfy the requirements of such an act. In the long run, however, Ford's decision to pardon Nixon helped restore public trust in the presidency. Key Words: Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Watergate, impeachment, pardon, executive privilege, polling. Gerald R. Ford assumed the presidency on August 9, 1974, one day after Richard Nixon resigned. Ford became president under the most unusual circumstances in the nation's history.1 He was the only man to serve as vice‐president and president without being elected to either office, and in both cases, his predecessor left the office in disgrace. Ford served as president when the nation's confidence in elected officials was perhaps at an all‐time low. And ultimately, Ford's own tenure as president is often reduced to the one act for which he is most remembered: his pardoning of Richard Nixon.2 In the conventional wisdom, the act that defined Ford's presidency was a failure, at least for many within Ford's immediate audience. Ford issued the pardon amidst rumors of a pre‐arranged deal between Nixon and Ford, or a quid pro quo: the presidency for a pardon.

  • Simply the Best: FDR As America's Number One President Tony Mcculloch in the Words of Tina Turner's Iconic Pop Song of the 1
    Simply the Best: FDR as America’s Number One President Tony McCulloch In the words of Tina Turner’s iconic pop song of the 1980s, to be “the best” is simply to be “better than all the rest.” While this is self-evidently the case, historians and political scientists who write about the institution of the U.S. presidency are obliged to justify their preferences and to produce a more detailed set of criteria against which the best presidents can be distinguished from “the worst” or from “the average” or from “the near great.” This is no easy task but the aim of this essay is more ambitious still – to distinguish between those presidents who are universally regarded as America’s greatest chief executives – George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt – and to justify FDR’s claim to be America’s number one President.1 The starting point for this quest is the survey undertaken by Professor Iwan Morgan, Director of the U.S. Presidency Centre (USPC) at the UCL Institute of the Americas, and published in January 2011. In this survey of British experts on the U.S. presidency, FDR was placed first, Lincoln second and Washington third. This result was in contrast to similar surveys in the United States that have usually chosen Lincoln to be the greatest, with FDR and Washington jostling for second and third position. The USPC survey therefore raises three main questions which it is the purpose of this chapter to answer. Firstly, why did a survey of U.S. presidents amongst British academics lead to a different result from that usually obtained in the United States? Secondly, what criteria would it be best to use in judging the greatness or otherwise of a U.S.
