The American Presidency With Bill Clinton

Becoming a Superpower

America's Constitution starts with the words "We the People"; every U.S. president has faced the question of who, exactly, is included in this soaring phrase; this hour examines presidential decision-making for many disenfranchized citizens.

We the People

The United States was born in the flames of violence and rebellion, and extremism has always been a part of American identity; focusing on the ways in which American presidents have reacted to extinguish or fan the flames of extremism.

Extremism

This hour explores how some U.S. presidents have exerted power over the economy through various measures, including taxation, imports and exports and law making, and the effects those actions have had on the lives of American citizens.

Building the Economy

The presidents who have made the biggest impact imagined what America could be; through their rhetoric, their leadership, or their sheer force of personality, these presidents dared Americans to join them in their vision for a better future.

Presidential Vision

When racial tensions erupt, some presidents have advanced the nation toward a more perfect union, while others have thwarted its progress.
