| dc.description.abstract | Every four years we choose a president that has the responsibility of representing all of us, but many times each of the candidates do not come close to being anything we want them to be. The Presidential Report Card is a way to allow for us as the citizens to be the ones who determines what we want as our Commander in Chief. In this I explore the previous research done by others who looked at the greatness of former presidents, Presidential Acting that presidents do to remain in the presidency, and the partisanship that we have began to see as a growing issue in this country. Each president that is being talked about in this research has found themselves, in some manner, having to deal with these issues, but for them to be labeled as “Great” then we must put their work to the test. Being president is not the easiest job in the world, many people know that, but this role requires unwavering effort on many fronts, and this shows in the legislation, bills, the advocacy that they do, and overall, how they seek to stand in the gap for the American people. Presidential Greatness for a long time has been a very talked about topic because greatness varies depending on the times that a president was in that determined the responses that they made for the situation, but what really needs to be questioned 2 is whether someone who made the greatness scales used their own personal political affiliation to determine the ratings? If this was not the case, then we need to find more ways to continue the work in evaluating presidential greatness, but if there was some partisanship in determining the numbers, then we need to go back and question if all these surveys have been using a fair ranking policy. | en |
