Cuban Crisis resolved by Kennedy agreeing to mutual remove missiles on both sides. Kennedy gained favor due to the removal on his end being done in secret. By mid-November, 74 percent of Americans approved of “the way John Kennedy is handling his job as President,”. This was in clear correlation with the personal secrecy in the missile withdrawal agreement.

President Johnson abused his position. Presidential position shown in bad light. The fact that he managed to send large number of people to war without them even knowing what was happening is a representation of the risk in having a selfish president as it shows how powerful a president can be.

He intimidated people by intervening with social life in his "Great Society" programs. Even liberals stopped supporting him when his war shenanigans occurred where over a hundred thousand US soldiers got dispensed like toilet paper to fight in a third world country.

This man was shady. He had serious trust issues that led to him being the first and only US president to resign in US history. He was pardoned so I guess that gives peace of mind to future presidents at least. Regarding the notions of power I believe the fact that he fired someone investigating into him is an indication of how powerful the presidential position was.

Nixon decided to normalize relations with the Peoples Republic of China, also his eight-day visit to Beijing in February 1972 was a television extravaganza. Contrary to this he planned the move in such secrecy that he didn’t notify members of his own cabinet. After this event majority of Nixon's actions were done in secrecy to the degree hardly anything wasn't when compared to previous presidents. , he even secretly advised South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu to resist peace overtures until after the U.S. election that had him as president. Eventually secrecies came to light such as his violations during the Watergate Scandal. Nixon resigned August 9, 1974, but was pardoned September 8, 1974 by George Bush.

At least the other presidents acted confidently. His approach wasn't the best but his presidency was active after I was born so that wraps up the timeline for now.
