In this episode of our podcast, “Lest We Forget Historical,” host Lillian Cauldwell delves into the fascinating and troubling history of presidents who have abused their power. From George Washington to John Quincy Adams, we’ll explore how these leaders pushed the boundaries of their authority, often with far-reaching consequences.
We’ll start with the Father of our Country, George Washington, and his controversial use of executive privilege in the John Jay Treaty. We’ll then move on to Thomas Jefferson’s audacious Louisiana Purchase, which many saw as an unconstitutional expansion of presidential power.
But it doesn’t stop there. John Quincy Adams’ conflict with the State of Georgia will shed light on the ongoing tension between federal and state authority. And we’ll uncover the surprising story of a president who actually admitted to abusing his power, a rare occurrence in the annals of history.
Throughout the episode, we’ll examine the motivations behind these presidents’ actions. Were they driven by ambition, a desire to protect the nation, or simply a misunderstanding of their constitutional limits?
Call to Action:
