The ultimate guide to the presidents. Mantle of power 1965-2013. Episode 8
Description
"The Ultimate Guide to the Presidents" offers a fresh perspective on how the Oval Office has evolved over the past 200 years through stories about the 43 men who have served as commander-in-chief and the ebbs and flows of presidential power and responsibilities. Since the mid 1960s, the power of the presidency has risen and fallen. It's been burdened by the personal failings of the men who occupied the office; by a Congress determined to reassert its power.
