The Book of Presidents: Volume I

The President of the United States (POTUS) is the head of state and the United States Government. The president directs the executive branch of government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.
Article II of the United States Constitution established the federal government's executive branch and the president's executive power. The power includes the administrative enforcement of federal law and the responsibility to appoint federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers. He also appoints ambassadors and concludes treaties with foreign powers and, subsequently, laws enacted by Congress.

From Washington to McKinley, one president only was non-partisan. Since the president is indirectly elected through the Electoral College to a four-year term, only one president has been elected unanimously by the Electoral College. Five, including McKinley, have died in office, and five have become president through their predecessor's death. One president was impeached by the United States House of Representatives but acquitted by the United States Senate.

Book one covers the presidency from George Washington through William McKinley. The United States Constitution does not require political experience before assuming the presidency. How many presidents between Washington and McKinley had no political experience? How many were congressmen, senators, governors, cabinet members, or other occupations? The book covers each president's strength, weaknesses, and their background, presidency, and post-presidency.
