Presidential lameduck performance : an honors thesis [(HONRS 499)]

Abstract

The purpose of this paper then, is to take these seven Presidents, identify their character classification, and see if their character shifted during their retirement term. The behavior during the retirement period will also be compared with the others to see if one character type is more successful than the others during the retirement term. Then, some possible reasons for the differences will be offered. Perhaps first, the constraints a President faces during this time should be identified.
