Summary
"Last published in 2009, this new edition includes extensive and authoritative facts about each president, including both terms of President Barack Obama, President Donald J. Trump's single term, and the inauguration and early White House tenure of Joseph R. Biden, 46th president and winner of the 2020 Presidential election. Part I presents a chapter for each president in chronological sequence, featuring data on the president's background, life, and administration. Here you'll find uniformly arranged data on birth, family, education, nomination and election, congressional sessions, cabinet and Supreme Court appointments, vice presidents, first ladies, and more-plus highlights of both the personal and political nature. Bibliographies guide readers to additional information on each president. Part II presents over 200 pages of fascinating statistics in a collective arrangement so that a reader can compare presidents on the basis of such matters as early career, previous political career, type of education, military experience, family background, religious affiliation, age at death, literary output, and other factors. Part II also delivers important facts about the office of the presidency, including salaries and pensions, cabinet officers, party alignments of the Congresses, presidential vetoes, electoral and popular votes in every election since 1789, third-party electoral votes, presidential succession, and the many other facets of the job."-- Provided by publisher.
