I have to give a 10 min presentation to my college class tonight about president's of the 19th century ( how they differ from today) and the line item veto. I have an article written by Ron Paul already, ( http://www.ronpaullibrary.org/document.php?id=7) but I do not think that will be long enough to fill the 10 min. Anybody have any videos bookmarked on either subject? I can't find any about the role of the president ( I know they exist but I can't find them). I really need one on the 19th century president.

Mainly they differ because they followed the Constitution and the modern presidents do not. The shit hit the fan in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created.

So you want to know about a president of the 19th century and his opinion toward the line item veto?

Clarify a bit. :)

I think it is 1. how they differ and 2. the line item veto specifically

This won't fill ten minutes but it might help a little.

In the 19th Century a President had to actually go meet people face to face a lot more than today to effectively campaign and negotiate treaties. The MSM of the time consisted of newspapers that were mostly the only source of news for the majority of the people. So in a sense a President of the 19 Century actually had a tougher time getting his message out if the newspapers of the time chose to not print his words or edit them to make him look bad if they didn't like him. Ronald Reagan, who was indeed a great communicator of the 20th Century, was able to bypass the bias against him by the MSM by bringing his case directly to the people through live TV broadcasts. In the 19 Century a great communicator like Ronald Reagan would not have been able to effectively get by the bias of the MSM as easily as it was in the mid and late 20th Century.

Thank you for the videos! You got the perfect part of the rally for what I need!

Talk about president's view on
-Slavery
-National Bank (DUH!)
-Women rights
-Foreign policy (Non-interventionalism back then)
-Presidents writing laws through bureaucracy in the present time.

-Sad to say, 19th century presidents did violate civil liberties. Suspension of habeas corpus during Civil War. Look at these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts . Most of them were implemented in late 1790's but did carry over into early 19th century. Come to think of it, 19th century can be divided into two parts, before civil war vs after civil war.

I could not find a video. :(
