Have you ever wondered why people desire to be president? How were the past presidents perceived in their times? What were their campaigns like?
Let's begin with the presidents. Currently there are 43, from George Washington (no political party) to George W. Bush (a Republican). Two fathers and sons became president - John Adams (2nd) and John Quincy Adams (6th), and George H. W. Bush (41st) and George H. Bush (43rd).
One grandfather and grandson became president - William Henry Harrison (9th) and Benjamin Harrison (23rd). A set of cousins also became president - Theodore Roosevelt (26th) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (32nd).

Huh? *is thoroughly confused about point of thread*
Is this like a school lesson?
Politics includes our past presidents. I believe it is important to have a good understanding of our history to get a good view of our current political process.
This was just an intro article. I think as you read through some of my other posts, especially "Third Party Politics", you will see where I am coming from.
Sincerely,
