What's next? - 11 comments

So, Dear Reader: the Hall of the Presidents is complete, until January. What's next? Any suggestions? Remember, the loose requirements are:

1. They must be portraits.
2. They must be in a series (so I know when to start and stop)
3. They must have readily available source material.

Any ideas?

Forty-third President: George W. Bush - 1 comments

We've reached the temporary end of the Hall of the Presidents! There just might be a new addition, maybe say January 20, 2009. Let's cross our fingers.

Forty-second President: Bill Clinton - 2 comments

Are there any new facts to report about William Jefferson Clinton? He's apparently close friends with George HW Bush, collaborating with him on several charitable projects after their presidencies.

Forty-first President: George H. W. Bush - 0 comments

The Bush family was in the politics business even before the double-presidency: George Herbert Walker Bush's father was a Senator, and his father was a steel magnate and organized the War Bonds for the first world war, and later Chief of Ordinance.

Fortieth President: Ronald Reagan - 2 comments

Reagan was an actor, then governor of California, and then President. Here's hoping Schwartzenegger follows the same path!

Thirty-ninth President: Jimmy Carter - 3 comments

Jimmy Carter created the Departments of Energy and Education. Who ran the schools before that? I have no idea, and so little interest in recent American history that I won't find out unless you - yes You, Dear Reader - inform me in your comments.

So?

Thirty-eighth President: Gerald R. Ford - 3 comments

Gerald Ford not only wasn't elected President - he wasn't elected to any national office at all! After Spiro Agnew abdicated the Veep position - and then pleaded guilty to tax evasion - Ford was chosen as his replacement. Then Nixon resigned in the wake of Watergate, and Ford began his unlikely administration.
