Season Two: Presidential Crises

Welcome to The Past, The Promise, The Presidency, Season Two: Presidential Crises. This season, we are exploring the presidential crises that you already know and those that are rarely talked about, from the Utah War to the government shutdowns of the 1990s. In the process, we will try to figure out:

• What makes a presidential crisis?
• What is the president’s role in solving the crisis?
• What happens when the president makes the crisis worse?
• How have presidential crises changed in the last 250 years?

We explore all this and more in The Past, The Promise, The Presidency: Season Two, Presidential Crises.
