    VPOTUS 004.5 - William H Crawford (President Pro Tempore)
    2024/09/15
    Tenure of Office: April 24, 1812 - March 3, 1813 What happens when a Vice President dies? Prior to the 25th Amendment, that meant that a President Pro Tempore (or "for the time being") was chosen to preside over the Senate until the next election. After the death of George Clinton in 1812, the person chosen for that position was William H Crawford of Georgia. Join us as we learn more about what it meant to be President Pro Tempore at the time and what Crawford did during his tenure.

    Year(s) Discussed: 1904-1944 They happen every four years, but how much do you know about the history of presidential nominating conventions in the US? In this episode, I am joined by Stan Haynes to discuss his research into the history of nominating conventions in the first few decades of the 20th century. Beyond just the fascinating historical figures at play in the politics of the time, the changes in the structure of the conventions and how the candidates were chosen were pivotal to development of the modern American political structure.

    Interview with Lindsay Chervinsky, Making the Presidency
    2024/08/11
    Year(s) Discussed: 1797-1801 The presidency of John Adams often gets overshadowed by those of his predecessor and successor, but as highlighted in Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky's latest book, Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic, the four years that Adams was in office were pivotal ones for establishing the office of the presidency as well as the nation as a whole. In our conversation, Lindsay and I discuss Adams's approach to the office, the challenges he faced, and how he managed to avoid a full-out conflict with France despite the bellicose efforts of those in his own party.
