Everyone needs a good buddy, especially when the weight of the nation is squarely on your shoulders.  Sure, Presidents have cabinet members, advisors and pollsters to help them work through problems, but the unfiltered advice from a trusted friend may be the most valuable counsel a Chief Executive can get.  We’ll get to know the Pals to the POTUS throughout history, and how they used their unique relationships to influence positive change in our exceptionally complex world.

Many consider Abraham Lincoln the nation’s greatest President.  A man of strong judgement, consistent leadership, and a humble, passionate focus on the common man.  These distinctive abilities did not always come to him easily.  Behind every critical decision and unforgettable speech, was a personal struggle to come up with the right strategy and the right words!  To show how he got there time and again, we’re revealing the  private, personal notes of The Great Emancipator.  From Honest Abe’s own pen to you - on this episode of American POTUS!

Harry Truman was a smart, humble, confident midwestern VP who woke up one day to find himself running the country!  But it was no time to sit back and let issues and policies just play out.  He faced one of the most tumultuous periods in global history, wrapping up a world war and attempting to manage a new cold war.  We're looking at the personal side of POTUS 33 that tells the enlightening story of how this famously plain-spoken man was so successful.  President, Husband and Grandfather, Harry Truman is on this episode of American POTUS!

The men and women of The Secret Service put their lives on the line, regardless of who the president is, what party he’s from, and how many enemies he has out there.  For the POTUS, it’s part of the job, where you go, they go.  And that’s where it can get tricky, balancing the importance of national security with private, family time.  They don’t always go hand in hand.  The secret service agents charged with guarding the President, on this episode of American POTUS

James Monroe dropped out of college to join the Continental Army, fighting alongside Washington in some of the most famous fights of the Revolution.  From there, he became qualified, immensely qualified to take over the White House.  And the nation agreed, giving him 80% of the vote the first term, and winning a nearly unanimous victory for his 2nd term!  The country was feeling on top-of-the-world, but the future would be filled with challenges, many of them going back to this very President.

The story of Ulysses S. Grant is an All-American tale - a physically small and modestly ambitious young lad from rural Ohio, grows up to lead the Union to victory and wins the White House for a full 2 terms.  Of course, the nation’s top historians have written this story, but the best version is notably by Grant’s own pen.  His memoirs not only reveal the detailed tales of his life, but also the character of the man who worked to complete them, right up to his last breath.  POTUS 18’s life as told by Uncle Sam Grant himself, on this episode of American POTUS!

POTUS John Adams was a crotchety, stubborn, out-spoken lawyer who just might be the MVP of the Founding Father team!  He used the power of his mind and his sharp tongue to inspire our revolution and help create the constitution.  He became President under tough conditions, never quite able to get out of the long shadow of George Washington.  He lost his bid for a 2nd term, and that’s when his greatest contribution may have taken place – the precedence of a peaceful transfer of power.  The Colossus of Independence, John Adams is on this episode of American POTUS!

The U.S. was booming when William McKinley  took office, and that opened the door to expansion, global expansion!  Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam – they all became part of the U.S. in one form or another, a move that turned us into a true global power.  He was easily reelected for a 2nd term, but it was cut tragically short by an assassin’s bullet after just 6 months.  McKinley may not be the most popular occupant of The White House, but maybe he should be, for what he did and what more he could have done!

John Tyler became the first VicePOTUS to become POTUS when his boss died after just 31 days in The White House.  While the country and the Congress weren’t sure if he should even be in power, he took the reins and charged ahead at a full gallop.  Displaying his own strategic vision and a healthy bit of confidence, he turned a lot of folks off.  In fact, he was so head strong, he was kicked out of his own political party for vetoing one of their own bills!  John Tyler, the man known as "His Accidency", is on this episode of American POTUS!
