MY BOOK BEGINNING
The Founding Fathers would be appalled by the modern presidency.-- The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents: From Wilson to Obama by Steven F. Hayward.
This is exactly what I need for a refresher course on 20th+ Century Presidents. Hayward is as witty and irreverent as ever. And he gets right to the point with his system of grading US Presidents on how strictly they adhered to their oath to uphold the Constitution. I'm learning while I'm laughing.
