The First 100 Days
Not all presidents are successful in their first days in office, but some are able to move past it.
Reagan sent Congress some of the most sweeping revisions of budget and tax policy ever attempted.
Johnson wanted to assure the country that he would carryout the policies of his predecessor.
Truman never had a burning desire to be president but was thrust into the role when FDR died.
The concept of a first 100 days didn't exist, but Washington set the precedent for all presidents.
During FDR's first months in office, he pushed 15 major bills through Congress.
