Temptations of Power | Scandals in the American Presidency
Americans love a scandal, especially when it involves those in power. In this episode, we take a look at three of the most scandal-ridden presidencies in American history (none of which involve living chief executives) and try to understand what each one tells us about the abuse of power and the institutions that work to both preserve and restrain it.
Join us every Monday for episodes and discussions and Thursdays for pop quizzes and Sketches in History. We love hearing from you, so leave a comment below!
