But the much more placid two-term presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and Bill Clinton show the same pattern — the only difference is Democrats didn't make down-ballot gains in the solid South under Ike because one-party rule in Dixie was already so entrenched that there was nothing to gain.

Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Sagamore Hill and Springwood estates became served as social hubs during their presidencies, but the only guests on the property would have been invited by the President and first lady -- unlike at Mar-a-Lago or Trump's Bedminster golf club in New Jersey.

Both presidencies began with a whiff of illegitimacy hanging over them: Johnson's because he became president when Lincoln was assassinated, Mr. Trump's because he won the Electoral College despite having nearly three million fewer popular votes than his opponent, the largest losing margin of any president who actually won the election.

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK, Sept 21 (Reuters) - A major computer hack at America's top stock market regulator is the latest sign that data stored in the highest reaches of U.S. government remains vulnerable to cyber attacks, despite efforts across multiple presidencies to limit high-profile breaches that are so frequent many consider them routine.

Since Bill Clinton and Barack Obama each hand-picked the DNC chairs who served during their presidencies, and since the 133 race was essentially a coronation of Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe, there's only been one contested DNC chair race in the past 25 years — the 2005 contest eventually won by Howard Dean.

When we get back we're going to talk about some of the things he's been doing as chief data scientist and later we'll be talking also about what happens next after the Obama presidency, which has been one of the most tech friendly or tech fast-forward presidencies and what's coming afterward.

On Friday morning, America's 1.3 million active-duty service members woke up to a new reality: Their leader, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, had resigned over the Syria withdrawal and Mr. Trump's rejection of international alliances, and everything he and other military leaders had told them through three presidencies had suddenly been abandoned.

When five of our earliest presidents (Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson) actually owned slaves during their presidencies, but we were taught primarily about their brilliance and patriotism, how can any educated person continue to hold onto that outdated mythology without wanting to create a healthier modern narrative of multiculturalism and inclusivity?

Though "What the Constitution Means to Me" was developed during other presidencies and mostly sidesteps very current events, it has a way of speaking to its moment, becoming a different text during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, say, or when migrants at the United States-Mexico border were met with tear gas.

It's your Topic A. In normal presidencies, the politics of cultural anxiety, social division or ethnic scaremongering — that is, of proposing the end of birthright citizenship and demonizing elite media and militarizing the U.S. border — is Plan B. It's what you turn to first when you don't have enough to say for yourself otherwise.

Over a succession of presidencies, "the attorney general's office has administered the prosecution of crimes and the administration of justice to protect the friends and cronies of the president or wield prosecution as a political tool," said Juan E. Pardinas, the director general of the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness, a Mexico City research group.

"They felt they could do business with the Trump administration without any real focus on thorny issues such as human rights or questions of governance that have complicated bilateral ties with other presidencies in the past," said Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, a fellow for the Middle East at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.

His ascent in Republican politics came through his willingness to be the face of party prerogatives — fighting against campaign-finance reform during the Clinton and Bush presidencies, impeding a then-popular president's agenda during Obama's — that were distasteful to the general public, his shrugging willingness to play a villain when a villain was required.

The point is not to use such comparisons to excuse Trump's rough speech and tweets, but to remind that the present media climate and the electronic age of the Internet and social media, along with general historical ignorance about prior presidencies, have warped objective analysis of Trump, the first president without either prior political office or military service. 8.

Two years ago, Schulz's center-left group promised that the German Social Democrat would give way for a conservative successor; but this would now give the right the presidencies of all three major EU bodies, with Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Juncker running the executive European Commission and Donald Tusk of Poland chairing EU summits as president of the European Council.

The Bushes are half that conspiratorial picture, fronts for a Republican Party establishment and whose sum total of accomplishments, dating back nearly 30 years, are two failed presidencies, the sweeping loss of manufacturing jobs, and a pair of pitiable Middle Eastern military adventures – the second one achieving nothing but dead American kids and Junior's re-election.

" With the tumultuous Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon presidencies before him, Sorensen pined for a competent, honorable, and visionary president, for whom the good of the nation was paramount and thus for whom he could write, as he suggested for Albert's inaugural address, "I shall not be a candidate for the Presidency in 1976 or at any other time.

But, unlike most elections, Trump's election is something different: it ends an era of American idealism, a high-mindedness of rhetoric, if not always of action, which has characterized most twentieth- and twenty-first-century American Presidencies, from F.D.R. to Eisenhower, from Reagan to Obama, from the New Deal order to the long era of civil rights.

At the same time, all refugee policies involve limits, most refugees need to be helped much closer to home, not every refugee population will have an easy time adapting to American life, and the annual ceiling in Trump's order — 50,000 — is still close to the number of refugees admitted in most years of the Obama and Bush presidencies.

I had a chance to talk to President-elect Trump last night, about 3:30 in the morning I think it was, to congratulate him on winning the election, and I had a chance to invite him to come to the White House tomorrow to talk about making sure that there is a successful transition between our presidencies.

I know with the strong leadership of President Donald J.

The first is a rejection of its final premise: Trump has indeed hurt vulnerable people, but between the leaven of incompetence in his cruelty, his rejection of some of the disastrous ambitions of his predecessors and a certain amount of fool's luck, his administration is arguably responsible for fewer human tragedies so far than more high-minded, less personally degraded presidencies.

Souza, 63, has repeatedly trolled Trump on social media since the 45th president took office, using his popular Instagram page to point out the lack of women in Trump's administration, his rocky first 100 days in office, his eyebrow-raising "shove" of a NATO leader, and much more — all while using photos from the Obama administration to point out startling contrasts between the two presidencies.

During Democratic presidencies, the division has moved to challenge intentional discrimination by individuals (like a landlord who turns away an African-American couple and then rents to a white one) and has sought to combat policies that disproportionally affect minorities, even if it's not easy to prove they're racially motivated (like a low-income housing program that funnels African-American recipients into mostly minority areas).

MACCALLUM: Guy, in terms of this president and how very different he is from the most recent presidents in terms of the strategic patience that we saw under President Obama, and the efforts towards peace, obviously, through the course of these last several presidencies, but this is a president who is not afraid to say, you know, rather bellicose things, and to make threats and to have threats come back at him from Kim Jong-un.

Honduras, though, was one of the first of the second-string to declare its intention to relocate, and Netanyahu decided to honor its president, Juan Orlando Hernández, a 1992 graduate of a diplomatic course held by Israel's Foreign Ministry who in spring 2018 had just begun his second term in office, after he'd appointed Supreme Court judges who changed his country's constitution to allow two-term presidencies, and he'd won what was almost certainly a fraudulent election.

Suffice to say, if you believe in racial equality, if you share the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., if you admire the Peace Corps, are stirred by the memory of JFK, thought the presidencies of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were successful, if you champion the education of women, and believe we can achieve greater unity and community through national service, you should know about Harris Wofford, who left us this week at age 21994.

Smerconish delivered the commentary on CNN's "Smerconish" after the Saudi government acknowledged on Friday that Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S.-based Washington Post columnist, had died inside its consulate in Istanbul after weeks of claiming to not know his whereabouts The CNN host noted that America's complicated relationship with Saudi Arabia stretched across presidencies from both parties, while questioning why there seemed to be little daylight between Democrats and Republicans on past praise for the Saudi government.

It's not how the imperial presidencies of the past worked, either: For all his braggart's talk, Trump has done nothing that compares with the power grabs and norm violations of Woodrow Wilson or Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson or Richard Nixon, George W. Bush or even Barack Obama … and because he lacks the popularity or media adulation that all of those presidents enjoyed at one point, it's very hard to see how he would go about imitating them.

However: This defense of occasional countermajoritarian presidencies assumes that the political system will, over the medium-term, be responsive to the Electoral College's incentives — that parties will be capable of overcoming polarization and addressing specific regional grievances, that politicians will be capable of working toward Rooseveltian or Reaganesque majorities, that presidents who win with a popular-vote minority will either adapt and gain a majority the next time (as George W. Bush did) or lose like Benjamin Harrison and John Quincy Adams.

To put that standing into perspective, here's where Gallup had these other early presidencies at about this same point in time: Barack Obama: 21977% (March 236-22006, 268) George W. Bush: 236% (March 22016-2.663, 22.66) Bill Clinton: 3.76% (March 2000-14, 1993) George H.W. Bush: 56% (March 12, 1989) Ronald Reagan: 60% (March 333, 1981) Jimmy Carter: 75% (March 20, 1977) What's more, George W. Bush never hit 36% in Gallup until 2006 -- well after Hurricane Katrina and after the Iraq war had turned south.

Here's where each of those three men stood in CNN impeachment polling at relevant points of their presidencies (dates of poll are in parentheses): Obama: 230% should be impeached and removed/245% don't feel that way (November 453-245, 246) Bush: 249% impeached/69% don't feel that way (August 31- September 2, 2006) Clinton: 29% impeached/67% don't feel that way (September 463-24, 1998) What that data makes clear is that there are always around 3 in 10 Americans who are ready to impeach a president at any time.

Levitsky provided a long list of contemporary factors that distinguish the Trump presidency from the Hoover and Carter presidencies, including extreme partisan polarization along overlapping social/cultural/cleavages, the hardening of partisan identities and the rise of intense negative partisanship, the crystallization of white identities and the perception among some white voters of threat in the face of decades of immigration and steps toward racial equality; dramatically higher levels of income inequality and declining social mobility; the weakening of party elites' gatekeeping capacity, reinforced by the introduction of party primaries, and, in the context of extreme polarization, the erosion of key democratic norms.
