The framers of the Constitution were in uncharted territory when they created the office of the presidency. No one at that time had a clear vision of what the president of a national republic would do, and only the vaguest notion existed when George Washington took the oath in 1789. For nearly 250 years, our elected Presidents have played a role in shaping what the office has become. Thomas Jefferson described the presidency as a "splendid misery," John Quincy Adams felt it was "harassing," and Warren Harding said simply, "It's hell!" And yet somehow some of our most notable Presidents left office with remarkable accomplishments.
