work for a peace without victory.
The purpose of Wilson's Fourteen Points was to show other nations what the USA believed should be part of post-WWI. He also wanted to show other nations that although the USA wasn't a part of most of the war, it would be a major force in the treaty.
Calvin Coolidge
confine himself to enforcing laws passed by congress
Roger Sherman believed the President should be appointed by the legislature, because he saw the Presidency as an office whose sole duty was to carry out what Congress decreed. He felt that the President should not be accountable to anyone but Congress since he would be in effect Congress's agent and Congress has the supreme power of government.
the Vice president should submit his resignation to the President
President Wilson wanted the United States to remain neutral at the beginning of World War I primarily because he believed that the nation should avoid entanglement in European conflicts and maintain its role as a peace broker. He thought that involvement in the war would disrupt the American economy and society and that neutrality would allow the U.S. to promote peace and offer mediation between the warring parties. Additionally, Wilson aimed to protect the diverse population of the U.S., many of whom had ties to both the Allied and Central Powers.
The one point that President Wilson would not sacrifice was the principle of national self-determination. He believed that people should have the right to choose their own political, economic, and social systems, free from outside interference. This principle guided his approach to international relations, particularly in the aftermath of World War I.
Most Americans did not want to join the war... In fact, Woodrow Wilson (the president during WW1) wanted to be neutral, isolated instead of go into war.
At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson urged Americans to remain neutral and avoid involvement in the conflict. He believed that the United States should focus on diplomacy and peace rather than military engagement. Wilson emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong national identity and promoting democratic ideals without being drawn into the war. His stance reflected a broader sentiment of isolationism prevalent in the country at the time.
After the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, President Wilson faced criticism from both isolationists, who believed the U.S. should remain neutral in the conflict, and interventionists, who argued that stronger action should be taken against Germany. Some isolationists felt that entering the war would entangle the U.S. in foreign conflicts, while interventionists were frustrated by Wilson's cautious approach and his reluctance to declare war. This divide reflected broader tensions in American society regarding involvement in World War I.
Initially, internationalists believed that the United States should remain neutral. Later on, however, they believed that the USA should enter the war on the side of the allies.
President Andrew Jackson believed that all Native Americans should live on reservations. He actually did his best to make that happen.
Woodrow Wilson said he believed that Germany should be punished for the War but in a way that would lead to reconciliation in Europe instead of revenge.

President Woodrow Wilson was very ambivalent about taking the U.S. into World War I. Not until the sinking of the Lusitania "forced his hand" did Wilson take the U.S. to war. Thus, U.S. involvement in WW I lasted just from 1917 to its end in 1918.
In 1900, Woodrow Wilson wrote about the executive branch of the US government and the role of a US president in foreign affairs. Wilson believed that when foreign affairs dominated the policies of the nation, the US president should have a dominating role. He wrote that the US Chief Executive must by necessity be the nation's guide. In the form of initial judgments and steps of action required. The president had the duty of supplying the US Congress as to why certain steps were required. In large measure the president needs the power to deal with foreign issues.In 1918 however, Wilson's international plans for a peace ending WW 1 fell into the hands of the US Senate which rejected most of Wilson's plans for the coming years.
