Dwight D. Eisenhower

During the effort to desegregate schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, placing it under the command of federal authority to ensure the protection of African American students attempting to attend Little Rock Central High School. This action was taken after the state governor had previously used the National Guard to prevent the students from entering the school. Eisenhower's intervention marked a significant federal response to civil rights issues and the enforcement of desegregation. Ultimately, he sent federal troops to maintain order and protect the students, demonstrating the federal government's commitment to upholding civil rights.

Well honey, Franklin D. Roosevelt is the president you're looking for. He snagged the titles for being elected to four terms, serving the longest presidency in U.S. history, and being the only president to serve more than two terms. That man sure knew how to make history, for better or for worse.

Dwight Eisenhower was last Republican President to preside over a balanced budget. He had a balanced budget in 1956 and 1957. Since then, there have been two presidents to preside over balanced budgets, LBJ in 1969 and Clinton in 1998 through 2001. During the last 40 years there have been five budget surpluses, all five were under Democratic Presidents: 1969, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.

To clarify, congress authorizes the budget. Between 1955 and 1981 Democrats held majorities in both chambers of Congress. From 1981 - 1987 republicans controlled the Senate, while Democrats held onto the House and then regained the Senate while holding controlling the House as well from 1987 -1995.

So the question is misleading in that the president alone cannot balance a budget. Congress has authority over financial and budgetary matters.

One point that is often misunderstood is that the budget for a President's first year in office is set by the prior President. Thus the balanced budget of 1969 was due to LBJ's budget even though Nixon was president for most of the year.

Eisenhower actually also balanced it in 1960. Before him there were three years after WWII b/c the war spending had stopped but the taxes and war controls were still in place. Before that it was Hoover in 1930 and before that it was Coolidge 1924-1929 (last president to balance it every year) and Harding 1921-1923.

Eisenhower did not have a favorite color. However, his wife Mamie's favorite colors were green, pink, and yellow ( for both decorating and attire).

A 2006 article in Political Psychology attempts to use objective information to figure this out. J.Q. Adams probably had the highest IQ (165), Warren Harding probably had the lowest (107). GW Bush was around 111, Reagan was about 118. Clinton was about 135. In terms of "intellectual brilliance," Jefferson ranks far ahead of anyone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Historians ranked these presidents as having the highest IQs: John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, and Bill Clinton.

As far as the lowest IQ goes: W. H.Harrison, Harding, Reagan, G.W. Bush.

Ratings of many differant types of intelligence:

Pure IQ - Wilson, Clinton.

Understanding what Americans want to hear - Reagan

Knowing how to act in a tough situation - Franklin D Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.

Making the right choice for the country, despite the consequence - Lincoln

Looking ahead to the future- Eisenhower (Al Gore, Vice President, also has a high IQ and would be the top rated in this category had he won the 2000 election)

During the High Renaissance (1490s–1527), major events included the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the Americas (1492), the conquest of Granada by Spain (1492), the publication of Copernicus's heliocentric theory (1543), and the Sack of Rome by the troops of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (1527). Additionally, this period saw the creation of famous artworks by artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael.

Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote the following noted books:

Crusade In Europe.

Atoms For Peace: U.N.Address.

Ike, A Great American.

At Ease: Stories I Tell To Friends.

American Enterprise In Europe.

Eisenhower At War: 1943- 1945.

In addition to the above, he co-authored many more in the midst of his Military and Presidential life. His Diaries and much of his other papers and speeches also have been brought out as books.

Mamie Geneva Doud Eisenhower

No, Dwight D. Eisenhower was not from Texas. He was born in Denison, Texas, but his family moved to Kansas when he was very young. Eisenhower's military and political career was primarily based in other states, such as Pennsylvania and Kansas.

Eisenhower praised the Jeep as one of the weapons that helped win the war. He recognized its versatility and reliability, which proved crucial in various military operations during World War II. The Jeep's ability to navigate tough terrains and transport personnel and supplies played a significant role in the Allied victory.

U. S. Grant was the closest one who was a career officer. Benjamin Harrison was made a brigadier general just before the Civil War ended and James Garfield was a major general in the union army during much of the Civil War.

No, Dwight D. Eisenhower did not die in office. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and his presidency ended with his second term. He lived for another eight years after leaving office, passing away on March 28, 1969.

Eisenhower did not get involved in military conflicts in the Soviet Union. Although the Cold War tension between the United States and the Soviet Union was high during his presidency, Eisenhower prioritized diplomatic efforts and negotiations rather than direct military intervention.

General Eisenhower did not lead an army of aliens in 1944. He was the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied forces during World War II, and he led the invasion of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944, commonly known as D-Day.

President George H.W. Bush famously vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa during a state dinner in Tokyo in 1992. The president later attributed the incident to a stomach illness, which caused him to become momentarily unwell. Despite this embarrassing moment, Bush and Miyazawa maintained a good relationship.

He died from heart failure on 28 March 1969

No, Eisenhower was never a mayor. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and prior to that, he was the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II.

Five: brothers -Earl, Roy, Milton, Arthur, and Edgar , plus one brother who died at one year of diphtheria, Paul.

The country that President Eisenhower believed would be the first to fall to communism in Asia was Vietnam.

Ike certainly was around many of the most important people of his lifetime and formed close but official understandings with such people as Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Bernard Law Montgomery, Douglas Mac Arthur, George Patton, Omar Bradley, George Marshall, Charled de Gaulle, Joseph Stalin, Marshall Zhukov and Harry Truman. He was the consumate political General Officer, and appeared to have gotten along with everyone, even if he may not have agreed with them. To say that he admired any of them is improbable. He had wanted to be a professional baseball player, and may have held many baseball greats in high esteem, even though he never personally knew them. He may have admired the great Carlisle Indian School athlete Jim Thorpe, who he once tackled in a game. He held his mother in high esteem although he was a military man and she was an ardent Jehovah's Witness. Ike liked Mamie and perhaps Kay Summersby and everyone knows that he loved golf. Perhaps the Reverend Billy Graham was his closest personal advisor during his presidency and Ike may have had genuine admiration for him. Ike was an enigma, sometimes highly rated and often as a do nothing President.

One interesting fact about President Dwight D. Eisenhower is that he served as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II. He played a significant role in planning and executing the D-Day invasion, which ultimately led to the liberation of Europe from Nazi control.

Another interesting fact is that Eisenhower signed the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, which authorized the construction of the Interstate Highway System in the United States. This landmark legislation revolutionized transportation and had a lasting impact on the development of the country's infrastructure.

One of the best ways to support Eisenhower's policies is to actively engage in political discourse and advocacy, promoting the principles of fiscal responsibility, international cooperation, and balanced approaches to domestic issues. Additionally, participating in grassroots movements and campaigns that align with Eisenhower's policies can help create momentum and support for his initiatives. Lastly, staying informed and educating others about Eisenhower's policies and their potential benefits can help garner wider support and understanding for his agenda.

Eisenhower attempted the overthrow of Castro in Cuba. He succeeded in destroying the democratically elected governments of Guatemala, Iran, and Congo, ordering the assassination of Congo's President Patrice Lumumba, then overseeing the installation of the dictator Mobutu (Kleptocrat was a word coined with Mobutu in mind as he stole billions while hunger and disease were rampant under his misrule). Lumumba's assassination has lead to deaths of many millions of people in Congo (Zaire while Mobutu was in power for 31 years). Eisenhower prevented elections in Vietnam when he feared 80% would vote for Ho Chi Minh. His blocking of this election gave rise to the Vietnam War.
