Her ancestor Thomas Pierce, an early New England colonist, was also an ancestor of Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States. She is the fourth cousin, four times removed, and the second cousin, five times removed, of President Franklin Pierce.

Attended Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Family literacy was Barbara Bush's cause as First Lady. She became involved with many literacy organizations, served on literacy committees and chaired many reading organizations. Eventually, she helped develop the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. She continued to be dedicated to eliminating the generational cycle of illiteracy in America by supporting programs where parents and their young children are able to learn together. During the early 1980s, after statistics had shown that foreign born immigrants from Latin America had nearly quintupled just since 1960, statistics showed that 35 million adults could not read above the eighth grade level and that 23 million were not able to read beyond a fourth-grade level. Mrs Bush appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss the situation and spoke regularly on Mrs Bush's Story Time, a national radio program that stressed the importance of reading aloud to children. Her children Jeb Bush and Dorothy Bush Koch serve as co-chairs of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. During her lifetime Mrs Bush remained active in the foundation and served as honorary chair.

She also spoke about her support for abortion access, LGBT rights, civil rights, and AIDS awareness.

1976 Quayle was elected by a wide margin to the House of Representatives from Indiana's 4th congressional district, defeating eight term incumbent Democrat J Edward Roush by a 55% to 45% margin. He won reelection in 1978 by the greatest percentage margin achieved to date in that northeast Indiana district.

In 1980, at age 33, Quayle became the youngest person ever elected to the U.S. Senate from the state of Indiana, defeating three term incumbent Democrat Birch Bayh by 54% to 46%

Making Indiana political history again, Quayle was reelected to the Senate in 1986 with the largest margin ever achieved to that date by a candidate in a statewide Indiana race, easily defeating his Democratic opponent, Jill Long, with 61%. His 1986 victory was notable because several other Republican Senators elected in 1980 were not returned to office.

August 17 1988 at the Republican National Convention New Orleans, LA, Republican Presidential candidate George H W Bush called on Quayle to be his Vice Presidential running mate in the 1988 U.S. Presidential election

1988 Republican Party candidate for Vice President U.S. with George H W Bush, won

Jan 20 1989-Jan 20 1993 44th Vice President U.S.

As Bush lagged in the polls in the weeks preceding the August 1992 Republican National Convention, some Republican strategists, led by Secretary of State James Baker, viewed Quayle as a liability to the ticket and pushed for his replacement. Quayle survived the challenge and secured renomination.

Upon graduation won a Rhodes Scholarship to University College, Oxford, where he studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics, though because he had switched programs and had left early for Yale University, he did not receive a degree there

Clinton was impeached on Dec 19 1998 by the U.S. House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury by a 228–206 vote and obstruction of justice by a 221–212 vote. Two other articles of impeachment failed,  a second count of perjury by a 205–229 vote and one accusing Clinton of abuse of power by a 148–285 vote.

Feb 12 1999 the U.S. Senate voted on the articles of impeachment. A two-thirds majority, 67 votes, would have been necessary to convict and remove the President from office. The perjury charge was defeated with 45 votes for conviction and 55 against. (Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania voted "not proven", which was considered by Chief Justice Rehnquist to constitute a vote of "not guilty".) The obstruction of justice charge was defeated with 50 for conviction and 50 against.

Clinton thus became the second U.S. President to be impeached, following Andrew Johnson in 1868. Clinton was the third sitting U.S. President against whom the U.S. House of Representatives has initiated impeachment proceedings since 1789, the three being Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton.  Richard Nixon resigned before the House of Representatives voted on impeachment, so he was never actually impeached.

Apr 1999, about two months after being acquitted by the U.S. Senate, Clinton was cited by Federal District Judge Susan Webber Wright for civil contempt of court for his "willful failure" to obey her repeated orders to testify truthfully in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. For this citation, Clinton was assessed a $90,000 fine, and the matter was referred to the Arkansas Supreme Court to see if disciplinary action would be appropriate.

1988 Candidate for Democratic Party nomination for President U.S., lost to Michael Dukakis

August 1991 Announced he would not be a candidate for 1992 Democratic Presidential nomination. His son had been in a serious accident.

1992 Chosen by Democratic Presidential nominee Bill Clinton as Vice Presidential candidate, won. Reelected with Bill Clinton 1996.

Was initially hesitant to accept a position as Bill Clinton's running mate but after clashing with the George H W Bush administration over global warming issues, he decided to accept the offer

Clinton stated that he chose Gore due to his foreign policy experience, work with the environment, and commitment to his family

Jan 20 1993-Jan 20 2001 45th Vice President U.S.

There was talk of a potential run in the 2000 Presidential race by Gore as early as January 1998

2000 Democratic Party candidate for President U.S., lost to George W Bush in disputed election

The Florida election recount of 2000 was a period of vote re-counting that occurred following the unclear results of the 2000 United States Presidential election between George W Bush and Al Gore, specifically the Florida results. The Florida vote was ultimately settled in favor of George W Bush, by a margin of only 537 votes out of almost 6 million cast, when the U.S. Supreme Court, with its final ruling on Bush v. Gore, stopped a recount that had been proposed by the all-Democrat Florida Supreme Court. The outcome resulted in Bush gaining a majority of votes in the Electoral College, winning the overall Presidential election.

Was a speculated candidate for the 2004 Presidential Election.  On December 16, 2002, however, Gore announced that he would not run in 2004. Despite Gore taking himself out of the race, a handful of his supporters formed a national campaign to draft him into running.  One observer concluded it was "Al Gore who has the best chance to defeat the incumbent President," noting that "of the 43 Presidents, only three have been direct descendants of former Presidents:" John Quincy Adams, Benjamin Harrison, and George W Bush, that "all three won the office only after... anomalies in the Electoral College," that the first two were defeated for re-election in a populist backlash, and finally that "the men who first lost to the Presidential progeny and then beat them" (i.e. Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleveland) "each won a sort of immortality--having his image placed on a unit of US currency," and that Gore should answer this call of history. The draft movement, however, failed to convince Gore to run.

After announcing he would not run in the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, Gore endorsed Vermont Governor Howard Dean in December 2003, weeks before the first primary of the election cycle

The prospect of a Gore candidacy arose again between 2006 to early 2008 in light of the upcoming 2008 Presidential election. Although Gore frequently stated that he had "no plans to run," he did not reject the possibility of future involvement in politics which led to speculation that he might run.

During the 2008 primaries, Gore remained neutral toward all of the candidates

On June 16, 2008, a week after Hillary Clinton had suspended her campaign, Gore endorsed Barack Obama in a speech given in Detroit, Michigan which renewed speculation of an Obama-Gore ticket. Gore stated, however, that he was not interested in being Vice President again.

On the final night of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, shortly before Obama delivered his acceptance address, Gore gave a speech offering his full support. Such support led to new speculation after Obama was elected President during the 2008 Presidential election that Gore would be named a member of the Obama administration. This speculation was enhanced by a meeting held between Obama, Gore, and Joe Biden in Chicago on December 9, 2008. However, Democratic officials and Gore's spokeswoman stated that during the meeting the only subject under discussion was the climate crisis, and Gore would not be joining the Obama administration.

1981-1983 Served as Assistant to the President for public liaison under Ronald Reagan.

Many pundits believed that Elizabeth Dole was the frontrunner for the Vice Presidential nomination. Bush then surprised most pundits by selecting former U.S. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, who was actually in charge of leading Bush's search for a Vice Presidential nominee.

2002 Elected to U.S. Senate for North Carolina, serving 2003-2009.

1996 Continued

Jack Kemp NY Republican

1957 Graduated from Occidental College with a degree in physical education

Occidental College was a founding member of the NCAA Division III Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Kemp selected Occidental because its football team used professional formations and plays, which he hoped would help him to become a professional quarterback.

After graduating from Occidental College pursued postgraduate studies in economics at Long Beach State University and California Western University

1958-1962 United States Army Reserve, rank of Private

1957-1969 Professional football player

1960, 1961 Editorial assistant to San Diego Union editor and future Richard Nixon aide Herb Klein

1964 Volunteer in Barry Goldwater's Presidential campaign

1966 Volunteer in Ronald Reagan's successful campaign for Governor CA

1970 Erie County, New York Republicans drafted Kemp to run for United States House of Representatives after incumbent congressman Richard D. McCarthy decided to run for the United States Senate

Jan 3 1971-Jan 3 1989 United States House of Representatives NY

Jan 3 1981-Jan 3 1987 Chairman House Republican Conference

1988 Candidate for Republican Party nomination for President U.S., withdrew from race

1988 After withdrawing from the race, was still considered a contender for the Vice Presidential nomination

Feb 13 1989-Jan 19 1993 Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H W Bush

1992 Was again considered as a Vice Presidential candidate

1992 Was considered the star of the 1992 Republican National Convention

1992 and 1993 Was considered the favorite or co-favorite for the 1996 Republican Presidential nomination

1993 Co-founded with Bill Bennett, former Secretary of Education, the free market advocacy group Empower America, which later merged with Citizens for a Sound Economy to form Freedom Works

Jan 1995 Stated he would be entering the 1996 Republican Party Presidential primaries

1995 Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and House Speaker Newt Gingrich appointed Kemp to head a tax reform commission, the Kemp Commission, in response to voter concern that the tax code had become too complicated

1996 Steve Forbes had tried to get Kemp to run in the 1996 campaign, but Kemp declined and in fact endorsed Forbes just as Dole was closing in on the nomination

Some feel the primary reason for the endorsement was to keep the flat tax idea and other supply-side views alive. Many thought Kemp had destroyed his own political future with the endorsement, and Kemp profusely apologized to Dole's campaign offices.

1996 Bill Bennett, conservative pundit, politician, and political theorist, declined the offer to be Dole's running mate for Vice President U.S. Bennett had served as Chairperson of the National Endowment for the Humanities 1981-1985, U.S. Secretary of Education  1985-1988,  Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy 1989-1990.

1996 Bennett suggested Jack Kemp, a man described as Dole's antagonist. On August 16, 1996, the Republican Party chose Kemp as its Vice Presidential nominee. Kemp was seen as a means to attract conservative and libertarian minded voters like those of tough nomination challengers Steve Forbes and Pat Buchanan.

Kemp was chosen over Connie Mack, John McCain, and Carroll Campbell, and it is assumed that this was partly because Kemp had several former staffers in influential positions as Dole's senior advisors. Dole had had a long history of representing the budget-balancing faction of the Party, while Kemp had had a long history of representing the tax-cutting advocates.

1996 Republican Party candidate for Vice President U.S. with Bob Dole, lost

Early 1998 Was a serious contender for the 2000 United States Republican Presidential nomination, but his campaign possibilities faltered, and he instead endorsed eventual winner George W. Bush

After their task force roles ended, the pair advocated solutions to poverty in America at various fora

2008 Endorsed John McCain in the 2008 Republican Presidential primaries shortly before the New Hampshire primary.  In addition, Kemp and Phil Gramm advised McCain on economic policy.

Nader's advocacy of automobile safety and the publicity generated by the publication of Unsafe at Any Speed, along with concern over escalating nationwide traffic fatalities, contributed to Congress' unanimous passage of the 1966 National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act

Presidential Campaign History

1972

Nader's name appeared in the press as a potential candidate for President for the first time in 1971, when he was offered the opportunity to run as the Presidential candidate for the New Party, a progressive split-off from the Democratic Party in 1972. Nader declined their offer to run that year. Nader received one vote for the Vice Presidential nomination at the 1972 Democratic National Convention.

1992

Nader stood in as a write-in for "none of the above" in both the 1992 New Hampshire Democratic and Republican Primaries. He was also a candidate in the 1992 Massachusetts Democratic Primary, where he appeared at the top of the ballot, in some areas, he appeared on the ballot as an independent.

1996

Nader was drafted as a candidate for President of the United States on the Green Party ticket during the 1996 Presidential election. He was not formally nominated by the Green Party USA, which was, at the time, the largest national Green group, instead he was nominated independently by various state Green parties, in some states, he appeared on the ballot as an independent. However, many activists in the Green Party USA worked actively to campaign for Nader that year. He refused to raise or spend more than $5,000 on his campaign, presumably to avoid meeting the threshold for Federal Elections Commission reporting requirements; the unofficial Draft Nader committee could, and did, spend more than that, but the committee was legally prevented from coordinating in any way with Nader himself.

His 1996 running mates included Anne Goeke, nine states, Deborah Howes, Oregon, Muriel Tillinghast, New York, Krista Paradise, Colorado, Madelyn Hoffman, New Jersey, Bill Boteler, Washington, D.C., and Winona LaDuke, California and Texas

1996 Green Party candidate and Independent candidate for President U.S., lost to Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Ross Perot

2000

In June 2000 The Association of State Green Parties (ASGP) organized the national nominating convention that took place in Denver, Colorado, at which Green party delegates nominated Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke to be their party's candidates for President and Vice President

On July 9, the Vermont Progressive Party nominated Nader, giving him ballot access in the state. On August 12, the United Citizens Party of South Carolina chose Ralph Nader as its Presidential nominee, giving him a ballot line in the state.

A common claim is that Nader's candidacy acted as a spoiler in the 2000 U.S. Presidential election, in which 537 votes gave George W Bush a crucial and controversial victory in Florida. Others, including Nader, dispute this claim.

2000 Multi party candidate for President U.S., lost to George W Bush, Al Gore

2004

Nader announced on December 24, 2003, that he would not seek the Green Party's nomination for President in 2004, but did not rule out running as an independent candidate

Ralph Nader, with running mate Peter Camejo, see 1976, ran as an independent ticket, also Reform Party, Independent Party Delaware, Populist Party, Better Life Party, Cross-endorsements New York, Peace and Justice Party, Independence Party New York, Independence Party South Carolina. Nader was also endorsed by the Vermont Green Party who chose not to ratify the national party's Presidential nominee.

2004 Multi party candidate and Independent candidate for President U.S., lost to George W Bush, John Kerry

2008

After some consideration, Nader announced on February 24, 2008, that he would run for President as an independent. His Vice Presidential candidate was Matt Gonzalez, see 2008.

2008 Independent candidate for President U.S., lost to Barack Obama, John McCain

2012

In December, 2010, Nader said in an interview that while he had not ruled out the possibility of running for President in 2012, he was encouraging people to identify and help another progressive willing to challenge President Barack Obama in the Democratic Party primaries. As the 2012 Presidential race evolved, Nader continued to express hope that "outside Democrats" would assert themselves to influence it. Meanwhile, he continued his customary writing and lecturing on a prodigious range of political and timely topics. In August 2012, Nader suggested to vote for Jill Stein or Rocky Anderson.

Later Activities

2012: Moderated a debate for third party candidates in Washington D.C.. The debate was attended by Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein, Libertarian Gary Johnson, Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party and Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode.He later moderated a similar debate in a studio appearance broadcast by Russia Today.  

Since March 2014: Has co-hosted the weekly Ralph Nader Radio Hour produced at KPFK-FM in Los Angeles and distributed via the Pacifica Radio Network  

2015: After a decade planning, founded the American Museum of Tort Law in Winsted, Connecticut

2016: Unsuccessfully sought a seat on the Harvard University Board of Overseers

Winona LaDuke CA Reform Party

American Indian activist, environmentalist, economist

Both parents were activists, influenced by her father, LaDuke became interested in tribal issues from an early age. She attended public school and was on the debate team in high school, placing third in an Oregon state competition as a senior.

Went on to college at Harvard, where she became part of a group of Indian activists. She graduated in 1982 with a degree in rural economic development.

Upon graduating from college, LaDuke moved to White Earth without knowing the Ojibwe language or many people, and was not quickly accepted. She worked as principal of the high school on the reservation in Minnesota. At the same time, she was doing research for her master's thesis on the reservation's subsistence economy and quickly became involved in local issues.

1996 Green Party candidate for Vice President U.S. with Ralph Nader, lost

1996 Continued

Harry Browne TN Libertarian Party

Investment analyst

1953-1956 United States Army, active military service

1956-1961 United States Army Reserves

1960s Taught courses such as: The Economics of Freedom, The Tools of Success, Tools of the Market, The Economics of Success, and The Art of Profitable Living

Was an investment advisor for much of his life, and developed the so-called "permanent portfolio" investment strategy, which claims to identify the four types of economic conditions that can apply over a given investment period, and the appropriate asset classes that give both profit from the upside of these conditions, and some measure of protection when they cease to prevail.

1970 Published his first book, How You Can Profit From The Coming Devaluation. Browne's second book, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World, was published in 1973. You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis was Browne's third book. He continued to write and publish books including his personal finance book, Fail-Safe Investing: Lifelong Financial Security in 30 Minutes, published in 2001.

According to Browne's web site, he was a consultant to the Permanent Portfolio Fund which utilizes some of the investment strategies described in his book, Fail-Safe Investing. Browne also authored books and gave lectures on actively living a Libertarian lifestyle. His book How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World gave a detailed explanation of how one can bring Libertarian concepts to every aspect of your life. His posthumously released 1960s lecture series, "The Art of Profitable Living," was released as a 20-CD album titled, "Rule Your World."

1996 Libertarian Party candidate for President U.S., lost to Bill Clinton

2000 Libertarian Party candidate for President U.S., lost to George W Bush

After the 2000 elections, Browne had continued working to increase the popularity of libertarian goals to reduce the size and scope of government. In addition to writing and making appearances on behalf of the Downsize DC Foundation (an organization he helped to co-found and for which he served as Director of Public Policy for a year and a half), he hosted two weekly network radio shows, one on Saturdays dealing with politics, which he often called “The Libertarian Conversation” (since listeners were encouraged to call in), and the other on Sundays, called "The Money Show", dealing with financial topics. Both of these radio programs were on the Genesis Communications Network.

Browne also worked with the Free Market News Network, of which he was the President for much of 2005, and a Senior Political Analyst. Via Free Market News, he had his own internet-based television show called This Week In Liberty, which ran for 25 episodes.

Prior to his death, he was also working on a book called The War Racket: The Lies, Myths, and Propaganda that Feed the American War Machine. War, he contended, was just another government program, and was essentially flawed because "government never solves anything."

Also authored thousands of articles and was a contributor to the news and opinion blog LewRockwell.com, to Antiwar.com, and to World Net Daily. He published the financial newsletter Harry Browne Special Reports from 1974 to 1997.

Vice President Dick Cheney was Acting President U.S. from 07:16 to 09:21 that day, becoming the first Vice President to serve as Acting President more than once. The Weekly Standard excerpted a letter Cheney sent to his grandchildren while serving as Acting President, which as of 2007, was the only written document known to have been signed by an Acting President of the United States.

The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution deals with succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, as well as responding to Presidential disabilities. The Twenty-fifth Amendment was adopted on February 10, 1967.

Post Vice Presidency

Although, by custom, a former Vice President unofficially receives six months of protection from the United States Secret Service, President Obama reportedly extended the protection period for Cheney

Cheney maintained a visible public profile after leaving office, being especially critical of Obama administration policies on national security

May 2009, Cheney spoke of his support for same-sex marriage, becoming one of the most prominent Republican politicians to do so

Jul 11, 2009 CIA Director Leon Panetta told the Senate and House intelligence committees that the CIA withheld information about a secret counter-terrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from Cheney

July 2012 Cheney used his Wyoming home to host a private fund raiser for Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney

2000 Continued

Second Lady of the United States Lynne Cheney 2001-2009

Received Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature with highest honors from Colorado College. Received a Master of Arts degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and a PhD in 19th century British literature from the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Served as the sixth chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1986 to 1993. In 1995, she founded American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a think tank devoted to reforming higher education.

She is a senior fellow in education and culture at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. She also serves as a director of Reader's Digest Association, Inc. From 1995 to 1998, Cheney served as the co-host of the Sunday edition of CNN's Crossfire, replacing Tony Snow.

Served on Lockheed Corporation's board of directors from 1994 to 2001. She gave up the $120,000-a-year position shortly before her husband's inauguration. She had served on the Lockheed board's finance, and nominating and corporate governance committees.

In 2000, she was mentioned as a possible conservative female pick for Republican Vice Presidential nominee on the George W. Bush ticket.[citation needed] The appointed head of the nominating committee was her husband, Dick Cheney, then the CEO of Halliburton, who eventually emerged as Bush's choice.

As Second Lady, she repeatedly spoke out against violent and sexually explicit lyrics in popular music, including those of rapper Eminem, picking up on an issue that was originally made famous by former vice president Al Gore and his wife Tipper. She also criticized video game developers for similar content.

On an October 10, 2007, episode of The Daily Show, Cheney stated her opposition to a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Her daughter Mary is openly lesbian and both Lynne Cheney and her husband Dick have publicly supported same-sex marriage during and after his Vice Presidency.

Was considered a possible contender to complete the term of Republican Craig L Thomas as U.S. Senator from Wyoming following his death in 2007. A spokesman stated that she was considering the post but she never signed an application to become a candidate. If she had won the seat, she would have become the first former "Second Lady" to serve in the Senate, or any public office, since Muriel Humphrey was appointed Senator from Minnesota after her husband's death in 1978.

Upon graduating from law school at age 25, Lieberman qualified for a family deferment because he was already married and had one child.

However, Lamont received 33 percent of the delegates' votes, forcing an August primary.

Jul 2006 Lieberman announced that he would file papers to appear on the November ballot should he lose the primary and announced he would run in the 2006 November election as an Independent candidate on the Connecticut for Lieberman ticket.  Won reelection to U.S. Senate CT as an independent.

Following the 2006 election, Lieberman struck a deal with the Democratic leadership allowing him to keep his seniority and chairmanship of the Governmental Affairs Committee. In return, he agreed to vote with the Democrats on all procedural matters unless he asked permission of Majority Whip Richard Durbin. He was free to vote as he pleased on policy matters. Along with Bernie Sanders, Lieberman's caucusing with the Democrats gave them a 51–49 majority in the Senate, leaving a slim one Senator majority to control the Senate in the 110th Congress.

Mar 2013 It was announced that Lieberman would be joining the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank as co-chairman of their American Internationalism Project, alongside former Republican Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona

1996 After she argued on PBS's MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour that illegal immigration was responsible for the low quality of Los Angeles schools, some of her colleagues at the school condemned her in an open letter. Two days later, she attended an anti-illegal-immigration rally where several of her supporters were attacked by members of the Progressive Labor Party, who allegedly wanted to harm Foster herself. Shortly thereafter, she left her job, which she calls a necessity resulting from her treatment at work. She went on speaking tours for the John Birch Society and took workers' compensation for an undisclosed mental disorder,  which she describes as "stress" and "anxiety,"  until her official retirement as a teacher in 1998.

She has also been a guest on Larry King Live, CBS This Morning, CNN & CO., Nightline, NewsTalk Television, CNN Live, MSNBC, Politically Incorrect, and various CBS, NBC, and ABC newscasts.

2000 Pat Buchanan selected Foster as his running-mate after several other candidates such as Jim Traficant and James P. Hoffa declined his offer. Foster, who had supported Buchanan's campaigns in 1992 and 1996, quit her speaking tour to join the race. While Buchanan was hospitalized during part of the campaign, Foster was the ticket's mouthpiece, campaigning through television and radio appearances. This was the first time in history that an African-American had been nominated for Vice-President by a Federal Election Commission-recognized and federally-funding political party, and the second time a woman had accomplished this.
