1) Did the Ford and Carter presidencies fail to repair the damage done to the reputation of the presidency by the Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation? If so, why not? This was driven by economic distress, social issues, desire for traditional values, unemployment, high inflation, and an energy crisis.

Tivas Gupta McPherson APUSH D May 22, 2017 Calvin Coolidge: A Conservative Reagan Many well-renowned conservatives have held the highest honor of serving as the President of the United States.

A leader needs to be both.
Another example of poor leadership is McMurphy, is essentially a child rapist, leading a bunch of crazy people.
