Few people may be aware that the office of the President of the United States was originally conceived by America's Founding Fathers as a mere administrative position, intended to rubber-stamp the policy decisions of Congress. But, in the over two centuries since George Washington reluctantly assumed the office in 1789, the President has evolved to become the most powerful man in the world. Through its 43 office-bearers, from Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt to Kennedy, Nixon, Bush and Obama, this 8-part series peels back the layers of history and concentrates on the ebb and flow of presidential power, as each leader dealt with the unique events, expectations and challenges of their time in the Oval Office.
