Dale Magee

The presidency of the United States is a demanding job that requires intellectual, emotional and physical strength. All presidents have support staff they rely on to help make decisions, but when the president is ill, whose interests take precedence? The president, who may have other issues or be in denial? His staff, who may be sacrificing their power? The citizens and the rest of the world, who depend on a stable executive running the United States government? Magee will outline three presidents, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Dwight David Eisenhower, to look at specific cases in which these issues arose, and the uncertainties and deceptions that occurred not only during their presidencies, but also their candidacies.
