against washington supporting a title is that he wrote in a letter to his son in law, david stewart and a grand confidant. a grand friend of his controversy, before he arrived on the scene in new york. he predicted the uproar it would cause. and the harm it was doing to the perceptions of the new federal government. he was from virginia. i think they ratified the constitution by one vote. his neighbors were already going, you're going to be the first president? the last thing he's going to want is anything that will exacerbate negative attitudes toward the new federal government, among his friends and in the larger population. also in that letter to david stewart. he expresses specifically his irritation with john adams for pressing for a high title. the other piece of evidence i bring, is that he was not in favor of a high title. is by looking at james madison during this period. i think it's very important for all of us to look at james madison and to listen to what he's saying, to read what he's writing during that first year of washington's administration. during that first year

is a book about george washington, thomas jefferson, and john adams. john adams and john simpleton copley, the two families, they became the best of friends. john trumbull lived with thomas jefferson in paris at the american embassy in paris. he was privy to the most intimate aspects of jefferson's life. for a while he became a go 's wild in jefferson romantic pursuit of maria causeway, a married artist in paris at the time. trumbull was the one who delivered letters between them, showing tremendous discretion. utterly wrapped up in the events of the revolution, charles wilson feel far and was in a militia company from philadelphia on the banks of the delaware with washington, with his musket and his painting kit. john trumbull was the son of the governor of connecticut. distancetched from a the firebombing and burning of charlestown at the battle of bunker hill. he became washington's aide-de-camp. he was friends with all that these people. so, it's all of those stories woven together within the book. that was the fun of really writing it. book about, you are wondering? i'm going

same in 2016 as they were in 1789 when george washington was sworn in. for my new book, "cross examining history," after completing my interviews with experts, i synthesized what i learned into what i call the 10 commandments for presidential leadership. i recognize that this audience is filled with leaders, business leaders, civic leaders, and future leaders. i believe that these traits are important for all leaders because they come from the stories of those who face important decisions and met them in ways that set the standards not just for presidential leadership but for all who are in leadership positions. when i interviewed johnson are new -- he said something very important. he said nothing happens in our federal government without presidential leadership. the reason for that is because congress cannot take prompt action because they are truly a herd of cats. only the president can manage the process in if the president does not, they do not yet manage. that quote made me think of reggie jackson who, during his days with the yankees, referred to himself as the straw tha
