From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, trade unions, universities, and countries. Etymologically, a "president" is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin pre- "before" + sedere "to sit"; giving the term praeses). Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e., chairman), but today it most commonly refers to an official. Among other things, president today is a common title for the heads of state of most republics, whether popularly elected, chosen by the legislature or by a special electoral college. It is also often adopted by dictators. From Wikipedia under the

From what I recall, the winner of the presidential election became president and the loser became vice president. What year did this change to where the president and vice president run together on one ticket? I'd assume that having someone from one party as president and another party as vice was problematic at times. Any further history on this subject would be appreciated.

Because many of us didn't vote for Obama just because of his color but because of his policy. And you might do well to remember he is half-white. So some of the might blame the white blood in him.

Q. How did President Lincoln and Radical Republicans in Congress approach the reconstruction of the defeated South? Did either Lincoln or the Radicals succeed? Why or why not?

But then Lincoln was killed, and Radicals held a massive harsh grudge on the South. They acted on their grudge by enacting the Wade Davis Bill which was more harsh than Lincoln's plan. They did the freedmen's bureau which helped black people make a living and get educated. They made the South ratify the 13th 14th and 15th Amendments which would outlaw slavery, give citizenship and suffrage to blacks and black males.
