Hello and welcome to American-Presidents.com We offer an excellent source of information for students, teachers, or those seeking to gain additional familiarity with the Presidents of the United States of America. We present exclusive biographies of all forty-two United States Presidents, from America's first, George Washington, all the way up to today's current leader, Barack Obama (biography coming soon). In addition we also offer information on topics such as the Whitehouse, President's Day, State of the Union, Oval Office, Air Force One, and Camp David.
It is important to know about the people that have helped shape the United States as we know it today. Few individuals have directly contributed to the progression and expansion of the United States on such a scale as the forty-three U.S Presidents. Each President features a personal biography list with information such as date of birth, presidential party, educational background, hobbies, and even the name of their pets. American-Presidents.com offers plenty of information for you to get acquainted which each United States President.
October 2009 Updates: We've changed the layout of all pages, moving the President's picture and menu to the left above the main site menu. The facts list are now also on their own pages for each president now too. You'll also notice we've put adverts on the site - sadly the site needs to fund itself, hosting isn't free. We've also added some new content, James Madison Speeches and Jimmy Carter Speeches. Before you ask - we are working on a biography for Barack Obama, it seemed unfair to add one before we saw much of his presidency. We also need to update the George W. Bush biography to encompass the final years of his presidency.
