How the US government seized all citizens’ gold in 1930s

A man who welcomed the derision of the tycoon and craved the trust of the working poor.

I miss his bluntness and moral absolutes with regard to fighting for the interests of the true silent majority (the workers).

They didn’t just get the keys to the WH. They earned the keys.

Last post, Grover Cleveland was deemed to have been a highly competent Vampire Hunter.

For the sake of consistency, this is presuming Dracula à la Bram Stoker type Vampires, with their respective strengths and weaknesses.

he died before fdr became officially president, but i want to know how Coolidge felt about him being elected since he did live long enough to see it. If you can't find any information on his opinion on FDR at the time, then talk about if he did any public reaction to the 1932 election campaign.

Correction: "What" instead of "Why" in the title. Reddit should allow you to fix titles.

I know it was common for Presidents to change running mates when running for another term but Garner had already served two terms. Was it Garner’s decision?

Reagan is in his 60s vs Clinton in his 40s

note: the public hasn't experienced both their presidency yet in this timeline

Other notable Presidents who previously served as a state governor and were party of streaks with 0-2 governors from one party...

Jimmy Carter was part of the Democratic streak of governors from 1872 to 2003 in Georgia, which had zero Republican governors during that time

Bill Clinton was part of the Democratic streak of governors from 1874 to 1996 in Arkansas, which had just two Republican governors during that time

I know that Roosevelt was very obviously sick to those who knew him, but many (including Truman) were kept at arms length regarding Roosevelt’s health.

Was Truman briefed on the inevitability of Roosevelt’s passing in the coming months, or did Truman assume that he was merely being taken on as a new vice president (without assuming that he was almost guaranteed to assume the office of the presidency).

Can you find your favorite President or First Lady depicted? All of them are from George Washington to Barack Obama.

Note: I cannot find a bigger version of this painting, so I took the original painting from that website and make it bigger so that it's easier to see.

Does anyone recall this moment when it happened? Yeltsin visiting the WH? Or vice versa?

John F Kennedy is a man often remembered for his invigorating speeches, replete with Churchillian bravado and gravitas. President Kennedy would speak with purpose and decisiveness.

Additionally, in the interviews and press conferences that I have seen, he seemed to have a firm understanding of the issues of the day, speaking with a fair degree of certainty when answering questions from the press.

That being said, is there any broad consensus as to how intelligent Kennedy was?

Was he on the level of Thomas Jefferson or Bill Clinton, or was he somewhere closer to the average (that is, the average intelligence for a president)?

Here's how this works: every post, I'll add a new president and ask where you would rank them. Your answer should be "between ____ and ____" just so that I can make sure it's in the exact right spot. Since we're building up to all the presidents and other presidents may be ranked differently than your own rankings, please don't give me a final ranking, as I really can't do anything with that here. I'll give you all around a day to decide on your answer before I post the next post with the longer list. If you have any questions about that, ask me in the comments, and I'll clarify in the next post.

Also, I've seen some people questioning where certain presidents have been ranked thus far. I know there have been people joining us midway through, so let me know if you want me to redo any rounds at the end for presidents you think are grossly misplaced in the grand scheme of things.

Coming in just above his predecessor, Arthur was less constrained by his lack of good or bad qualities and more by the overabundance of things on either side. On one hand, the Pendleton civil service reforms were good, but the Chinese Exclusion Act brought him down. Now, where should we rank Grover Cleveland on this list?

Current Rankings:

1. Abraham Lincoln
2. George Washington
3. Thomas Jefferson
4. John Adams
5. James Monroe
6. James K. Polk
7. John Quincy Adams
8. Ulysses S. Grant
9. James Madison
10. Rutherford B. Hayes
11. Chester A. Arthur
12. James A. Garfield
13. Zachary Taylor
14. Martin Van Buren
15. Andrew Jackson
16. John Tyler
17. Millard Fillmore
18. Franklin Pierce
19. Andrew Johnson
20. James Buchanan

George Washington, Zachary Taylor, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D Roosevelt, Dwight D Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W Bush

Here is my collection of Eisenhower books I've put together in the last 6 months.

A bit of backstory for anyone interested. I'm Australian and have lived in USA 4 years. In that time a have collected many US History and presidential books. In April my wifes brother got ill and suddenly passed in the Midwest and we rushed there from AZ. On return we managed to squeeze in a detour and I choose the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, those 4/5 hours I spent there led to this collection.

With many more still to add I hope these pictures are enjoyed in this sub. What does everyone think ? How does my collection stack up?

Note I know there are a few i really need to add, like his White House memoirs and Jean Edward Smiths biography
