Teachers!
The American President is a ready reference that
any teacher of American history or American
government will find useful to have. The layout

of a president's cabinet, personal data,

timelines. Each chapter provides a quick
refresher before a lecture on a topic relevant
to a particular president. |

easy-to-navigate reference well suited for
library use. It should be in all school
