Getting to know America's Chief Executives
"The Ultimate Guide to the Presidents" is a three-disc DVD collection chronicling the American Presidency over the past 200 years.  Offering unusual stories, this eight-episode History Channel series provides a fresh perspective on the 44 men who have served as Commander-in-Chief, from George Washington to Barack Obama.  It concentrates on the ebbs and flows of presidential power and responsibilities as each of America's leaders deals with the events, expectations, and challenges of his time.<br /><br />One of the most interesting revelations is that the Founding Fathers originally regarded the office of President as administrative, merely to rubber-stamp legislation passed by Congress.  Washington didn't want the job, but when he finally accepted it, he made the office more powerful than envisioned, setting a number of precedents, including appointing a Cabinet.<br /><br />The best aspect of the series is the way the various presidents are personalized.  We get to see how each responded differently to criticism, crises, and public outcry in a job that eventually came to be labeled the most powerful position in the world.<br /><br />Bonus material includes over 30 minutes of footage never before seen on TV.
