Dwight Eisenhower

I remember Eisenhower. When I was in 4th grade we studied American government. I learned that in America we elect a new president every 4 years. That came as news to me. It seemed that Ike was president my whole life. But then, the election of 1960 was about to start.

I remember seeing Ike and Nikita on TV. Both were old bald guys. I couldn't tell them apart.

Events from the Eisenhower Administration.

Return to politics.

Go the next president, John Kennedy.
