The American people have spoken by rejecting the incumbent president, Martin Brookes and electing his opponent Paul Roberts and his running mate Barnie Martinez. Brookes responds by fulfilling an election pledge to shoot himself on a White House toilet in the event of his defeat and this leaves his vice-president Neil Jock Honeyman as president until the inauguration of the new president. Come inauguration day, President Honeyman suddenly dies. Not wishing to be outdone, President-elect Roberts also becomes unexpectedly deceased. This sets in motion a truly bizarre train of events involving deception, corruption and murder in the highest of places plus sexual misdoings ranging from wife-swapping to alleged perverted deeds upon mountain goats in the European Alps. Can American democracy survive this truly historic inauguration? Delve into the incredible and the totally unlikely as Washington undertakes a manic game of Who's the President? on a day when it really does hail chiefs.

A stunningly insightful account of the global political and economic system, sustained first by Britain and now by America, that has created the modern world. The key to the two countries' predominance, Mead argues, lies in the individualistic ideology inherent in the Anglo-American religion. Over the years Britain and America's liberal democratic system has been repeatedly challeged—by Catholic Spain and Louis XIV, the Nazis, communists, and Al Qaeda—and for the most part, it has prevailed. But the current conflicts in the Middle East threaten to change that record unless we foster a deeper understanding of the conflicts between the liberal world system and its foes.

A visit from the President of the United States always brings with it excitement. In Maine, perhaps part of that excitement stems from the fact that presidents rarely visit the state–only 18 of the 45 presidents have visited Maine in the nation’s 244-year history. Many of these visits came at significant points in a presidency; and some visits had controversy, conflict, and ironic twists. For example: * During George Washington’s visit, Maine was not even Maine, it was part of Massachusetts. * President Ulysses S. Grant was the hero of the recently ended Civil War. * President Richard Nixon was met with protests that saw Mainer battle Mainer. * President Carter spent the night of his visit with a common, ordinary Maine family, in their modest home. * President Trump’s visit came in the middle of a global pandemic. Each of Maine's presidential visits left us with great stories, and a detailed view of Maine's lively history.
