AMERICAN PRESIDENTS THROUGH THE EYES OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

You will leave this class as a thoroughly historically informed voter. You should come prepared to discuss your favorite presidents, and your least favorite ones. Or if you’d like, sit back and listen or add your comments as we go through the history of our Presidents, from George Washington to Barack Obama. We will review each President–how he was nominated, elected and served as President. What Presidential powers did each bring to office? Learn about the birth of our political parties, their growth and how they changed over the years. Examine our unique Electoral College, how it came into being and is still being used today.
