The American Presidency Field Trip
http://www.field-trips.org/ss/prez/
Possibly no political office in history is more known or visible than
the President of the United States. Often in the study of US History,
we find ourselves reflecting on the American story in terms of presidential
administrations (Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal combated the problems
of the Great Depression; President Richard Nixon's administration was
shattered by Watergate; the Civil War was fought during Abraham Lincoln's
term of office; etc.) Since the presidency is such an important part of
American culture and history, it is important for our students to understand
the office, the men who have held the office, and how the office is obtained.
