Presidential Libraries

From George Washington to Bill Clinton, presidents have overseen the government of the United States of America for more than 200 years. Every president has also acted as the head of the executive branch of the government and commander in chief of the country's armed forces. In addition, each president has been considered to be the leader of his political party, a role that includes selecting the chairperson of the party's national committee, gaining the support of state and local party affiliations and influencing the election of party members to Congress.
