Former living American Presidents just might the most exclusive and bewildering clubs to be a part of. What do Presidents do after they are done being arguably the most powerful person on Earth? They have classified knowledge and expertise on all the most pressing issues of our time -- then somehow, they have to return to normal, public life as ordinary citizens.
In this special side-episode of Unpresidented, we dive into how various Presidents over time have decided to move forward with their lives and what kind of power they actually possess when they are no longer in office. The life of a former President has changed drastically over time, and there is a lot to distinguish from the era of modern post-presidents and the Presidents who came in the nation's first 150 years. It turns out, being a former President today is extremely lucrative and profitable, but that wasn't always the case. What has happened to spark this change, and is it ethical for Presidents to profit so much off of their former Presidential brand? Should there be more oversight on Post-Presidential actions? Give it a listen and let us know what you think in our poll questions below!
