Lyndon Johnson's experience leading the U.S. Senate ultimately made him one of the most consequential Accidental Presidents in history.  When he took over for JFK, he made it his mission to get more done with his limited time in office, than anyone thought possible.  But at the same time, he sunk deeper and deeper into the quagmire of Vietnam, a tragedy that became part of his complicated legacy.
Mark Updegrove, President & CEO of the LBJ Foundation, helps us dive into the extraordinary perseverance of POTUS 36.

Part 1 of our discussion about the controversial life of Andrew Jackson.  From the time he was born, Old Hickory was fighting for a better life.  He took on the British first as a teenager, and later as a renegade General.  Never one to back down from a fight, he then went up against the traditional D.C. bureaucrats and won, changing the presidency forever.  Professor Mark Cheathem, nationally respected expert on Andrew Jackson, joins us to talk about the turbulent and undeniably popular POTUS #7.
