An Extremely Interesting View of Four Presidents and the Constitution.
I saw this extremely interesting lecture this weekend on CSPAN History.
Four Presidents and the Constitution.
The Lecture was held at Wheatfield, the home of the President long considered the worst in historian polls, James Buchanan, until Donald Trump came along to relieve him of that dubious honor.
The Presidents discussed are Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln.
In the most recent Historians Poll these men ranked respectively 39th, 42nd, 44th and first.
Donnie rescued 44 from the bottom by being 45th.
One of the above four listed (excluding Donnie) played fast and loose with the Constitution.
There are some scary and pointed (but not explicit) points made at the end of the lecture.
