Ep.08: UnPresidented: Orange Skies Ahead
In Episode 8, UnPresidented: Orange Skies Ahead, Jen and Dom unleash a series of bold predictions about the chaotic trajectory of the current U.S. administration. From questions about the future of the Nord Stream pipeline and Boeing's survival, to fears of economic collapse triggered by foreign bond sell-offs, they paint a sobering picture of a nation teetering on the edge. The duo digs into the administration’s defiance of judicial authority, media suppression, and unprecedented executive overreach, all while exploring global power plays by China and the erosion of women’s rights at home through the SAVE Act.

UnPresidented: George Washington
We’ve made it to the end, the finale, our first and last President of Unpresidented. George Washington, a man whose face is time and again used as a grand symbol for American democracy — whether it’s on currency, state flags, or statues throughout the 50 states. If you want to have a basic understanding of the American presidency, you have to start with Washington’s actions while in office. Two term limits, farewell addresses, cabinet meetings, and so many more precedents that are ingrained into the office became institutional traditions from Washington’s decisions rather tha...

UnPresidented: Abraham Lincoln Part 2
Picking up where we left off in Part 1 — Lincoln at the start of the Civil War (and mainly throughout) was having a rough time managing the crisis. A lack of enthusiasm to fight and aggressive-minded generals, as well as a suspension of habeas corpus put him on an uneasy path in trying to win re-election. While his administration had mostly solved the nation’s financial crisis, they suffered heavy losses on the battlefields with little progress to show for it. Until 1863, the country looked like it was on a path to becoming permanently split. That...

UnPresidented: Abraham Lincoln Part 1
When Lincoln comes into office, he is walking into a disaster beyond the seriousness of what even Hoover had to deal with. Several states had already seceded from the Union, with more considering joining the Confederacy. The nation, losing tariff revenue from secession, was also on the brink of financial collapse. The issue of slavery had officially split the country in two, and with southern leaders quick to set up a government and organize an army, the possibilities of reunifying seemed like a slim feat for Lincoln to pull off. As everyone knows, he...

Even as Nixon's campaign revolutionizes the art of making a presidential run for the next 60 years, he needs every break possible to still win.

Our season four presidential closer is arguably the most tragic historical figure in American history; Ricard Nixon. Dick had all the strengths to be a great President, along with an impressive record of signing into law some of the country's most important legislation that still exists today. Most Americans know nothing of Nixon's accomplishments though, and for good reasons. The abuse of executive power during Watergate served as a warning to the American public on giving away too much trust to the government, a culture that has grown since and polarizes the nation today.

A whole new political party (which is now our oldest) was formed just to get him into the presidency. Without him, the Democratic Party does not even come into existence.

Rutherford B Hayes had all the potential to be an exceptional president for post-Civil War America. He had defended runaway slaves in court to obtain their freedom. He served in the army throughout the Civil War. He even fought for expanded measures to guarantee black suffrage as governor of Ohio. Many could have examined his background and concluded he was an ideal fit to replace President Grant and carry on Reconstruction's slow but critical progress/objectives. Instead, all the controversies that unfolded in the 1876 election made Reconstruction even more unpopular and politically difficult to continue. That doesn't...

As someone who was there for most significant revolutionary and early American government events, Madison's influence shaped the nation's trajectory arguably more than all his older and more distinguished colleagues.

How bad do things actually have to get before a Civil War becomes a possibility? While the US has had plenty of close and controversial elections, 2020 was different. Peacefully transferring power to the President-elect had only ever not happened just one time in the nation's history, which was in 1861 when James Buchanan failed to stop southern states from seceding before Abraham Lincoln took office. Comparing 1860 to 2020 may seem over-dramatic and uncalled for, and indeed the nation has changed incredibly between those 160 years.

In 1953, few could argue that Eisenhower was not the most logical choice to guide the US through the beginning of the post-WWII era. A major general in the European theater of the war, Eisenhower understood well the horrific sacrifices many war-torn populations had to make in the war's 6-12 years. With the USSR quickly becoming a threat to entering yet another wide-scale war, Eisenhower essentially helped invent the playbook of inserting US power into global affairs without sending an army to de-escalate a World War risk.

The Supreme Court is becoming increasingly more ideological, as it is seizing opportunities as of late to change the legal precedents of policies that cause significant political divides in the United States.

One of the most powerful and sustainable ways a country maintains a shared, holistic identity across their varying communities is by prioritizing that its people learn/feel a shared sense of history.

They also brought the horrific conflict that was the Civil War closer to a reality precisely for the same reasons -- expanding claimed US territory and the institution of American slavery with it. As a result, their early presidencies made it essential for southern politicians to adopt the policy preferences of those administrations if they wanted to attain higher offices and political power.

UnPresidented: Ulysses S. Grant
Historical revisionism can be tricky, especially when it's being employed on American Presidents. Whether a President leaves office with a lot of popularity or in disgrace, a common trend for most Presidents long after they are done serving their terms seems to soften among historians and the overall populace. George W. Bush, for example, left office with approval ratings below 40 percent, yet just 13 years later, is viewed favorably now by the majority of Americans. Surprisingly enough, Ulysses S Grant, a Civil War hero, is one of the few exceptions to this trend, as his popularity after he l...

UnPresidented: Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson used to be characterized by most of the American public as an undeniable hero of American history for almost 200 years after he left the Presidency. Having been instrumental to the nation's founding as well as its expansion -- Jefferson's legacy, even as a slave holder, seemed to be on its way to remaining as untarnished as any historical figure could be. In this episode of Unpresidented, we find out how that legacy of Jefferson has collapsed in the past 25 years. The retelling and takeaways of Jefferson's life have developed tremendously in concert with how our...

UnPresidented: Gerald Ford
Even though Gerald Ford had only two and a half years as President, he had a great opportunity to be just as impactful as his post-WWII predecessors. The qualities that got him to the Vice-Presidency -- such as his laid-back demeanor, eagerness to avoid direct confrontation on difficult issues, and his overall compromising nature, though, is arguably what got in the way of him becoming an effective President. Unfortunately, a nation coming out of the year-long shock of Watergate needed more closure than what Ford was willing to offer. The 1970s brought more unprecedented issues to the...

UnPresidented: William McKinley
In this episode of Unpresidented, we discuss what factors have made William McKinley's Presidency become more favorable among historians the further time has gone on. Why is McKinley considered an underrated President in 2021 with such a controversial record on occupying and ruling over newly, forcibly acquired territories? Should McKinley accomplishments of occupation and American imperial expansion be glorified? McKinley certainly wasn't a bad President in the traditional sense of leading a breakdown in the American economy and presiding over a recession. In fact, the American economy fares very well in his tenure, but that should not be...

UnPresidented: Side-episode - Gerrymandering and the 2020 Census
Maps! New decade, new census, same problems. In this episode of UnPresidented, we take a break from diving into individual Presidents to explore another pillar of American political power -- redistricting. The process of redrawing Congressional districts due to a shift in state populations only happens once every ten years, but the process for who gets to decide how new maps are drawn is controversial, and objectively anti-democratic. We explore the rise in popularity in the practice of gerrymandering, and how the census can now make or break modern day Presidencies. How can Congressional candidates...

UnPresidented: Franklin Pierce
The country's newest, youngest President in 1852 was put in office to be a symbol of compromise between the north and south. The expansion of the US and its railroads also forced the country to confront how it was going to move forward on slavery. Franklin Pierce, a northernor but southern sympathizer, seemed like a great choice to guide the nation back to a steady harmony geographically. On this episode of UnPresidented, we discuss the compromises that kept the nation from engaging in a Civil War for so long, and how they were all doomed to fail. While P...

Many of the most notable and covered Presidencies focus on so many of the individualistic aspects of a President themselves by detailing their unique rise to the top of American politics. Harry Truman, though, is the rare exception as someone with a remarkably proficient and newsworthy Presidency, but having such little fanfare invested into what he truly was like as a person. This episode of UnPresidented follows suit in diving deeper into the Presidential years of a President more than any other episode so far, as the decision-making of a President never has been more consequential than when Truman...

Figures like Hamilton, Jefferson and Madison are replaced by a less remembered generation such as John Calhoun, Andrew Jackson, and William Henry Harrison -- that splits up the Democratic-Republican Party into a new era of partisan divide.

UnPresidented: Ronald Reagan Part 2
Ronald Reagan Part 2 By 1967, the transition to passionate conservative for Ronald Reagan was complete, and the new governor of California finally secured a distinguished office to bring his brand of conservatism into the mainstream of California politics. Translating that success into victory for a general Presidential election, though, was going to be far more difficult. How do you get a country to embrace the message “that government is not the solution, it’s the problem,” right off the back of LBJ’s Great Society legislation breakthroughs? Both Republicans and Democrats, at this point, had embraced expanding the size of...

Ronald Reagan Part 1 Conservatism, in the most true sense of its political meaning, could have never emerged with such immense popularity in the US without a brilliant (political) actor like President Ronald Reagan. His career provides the whole political framework for conservative politicians today on how to frame issues to encourage popular support for cuts to government programs, reduced regulations, reduced gun control, and more tax cuts. Whether you are a fan of more conservative policies or not, Reagan’s polarizing embrace of such strongly conservative political values still has a foothold on the whole policy agenda of...

While there are plenty of pros and cons to this President, it is tricky to know of any one who would have thrived, or even survived to obtain a second term while first taking office in 1929. At the same time, there are few Presidential candidates in history who could have beaten Hoover, who had such an untarnished reputation for the 1929 election as well.

He is a crucial figure within it as well as Madison’s administration, and it becomes easy to understand how essentially Monroe is guaranteed the Presidency by the time he takes office. His success and support for the War of 1812 becomes the final nail in the coffin for the Federalist Party, and Monroe further seizes upon his personal aspiration in tr...

He takes part in critical American Revolution battles, early and foundational Constitutional debates of the role and size of the Federal government, whether the US should expand West, and the War of 1812 -- just to name a few.

The first and only Democratic to serve as President post-Lincoln in the 19th century, his party affiliation was a tough sell at a time where voter turnout was at a record high. In order to win voters, Cleveland had to draw a profound distinction between himself and a dominant Republican party.
