  10. The Presidents 12.1 • Great Expectations • Who They Are • How They Got There

  11. Great Expectations Are expectations realistic? Ensure peace, prosperity and security Power does not match responsibilities Cognitive dissonance: Americans want strong leader but fear concentration of power We want government to be small and limited, yet solve all societal and economic problems 12.1

  12. 12.1 “Bring in the new guy” Americans want their president to succeed but at the same time are so critical that it is unlikely that the president will be allowed to succeed.

  13. Who They Are Basic requirements: Natural-born citizen 35 years of age or older Resident of the U.S. for previous 14 years All have been white (except for Barack Obama), male, and Protestant (except for John Kennedy). Do you think a woman will serve in either of these offices within your lifetime? 12.1

  14. 12.1 TABLE 12.1: Recent Presidents This table features presidents of the last 60 years, giving the dates of their term or terms of office, their party affiliation, background, and major accomplishments and traits. How many recent presidents have served one term or less? How many have served as governor of a state? How many have served in the legislature?

  15. How They Got There Elections: The Typical Road to the White House Twenty-Second Amendment (1951) Two terms of four years Succession Twenty-Fifth Amendment (1967) Vice president becomes president Nominates new vice president – Majority vote in both houses of Congress Allows the vice president to become acting president if the president is temporarily disabled 12.1

  16. How They Got There Impeachment “Treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors” House impeaches with majority vote Senate conducts trial – 2/3 vote Andrew Johnson (1968) – not guilty Bill Clinton (1998) - not guilty (lying under oath) 12.1

  17. LO 13.1 Nixon Resigns Richard Nixon was the only American president ever to resign his office.
