Great Essays

    Forty Three men have served as the President of the United States. Each man brought his own ideas, philosophies and ambition to the office. Some of the these gentlemen have been credited with changing the presidency and defining the age, while others have been credited with being helplessly defined by the events of the era in which they held the office. History gives reverence to all of the men who served in what is considered the most powerful position not only in the United States, but also in the world.
