named her cat washington. lin turns towards the audience and says that's true. it is not true. unfortunately got that from raunchier nose -- unfortunately, he got that from a book. there is a lot to commend in his book, he also put hamilton back on the map. this story that martha washington, of all people. i don't know how much you know about martha washington, but can see -- can you see her naming a horny cat after one of her ?usband's aides it is not just wrong, it is everywhere. i have looked into it, they have actually wrote a piece about it. he got under my skin because it feeds to this john adams notion that hamilton was nothing but an abundance of secretions and was constantly sleeping around. yes he had extramarital affairs, to which he admitted to. but was he constantly on the prowl? i don't think there is a lot of evidence to support that. one thing the authors do is they story,o this tom cat even want -- martha washington knew he was out of control. if you look at the sources that for that, first of

what would washington -- how would washington view the. i think he would be relieved there was an amendment that made the four-year term. he would be appalled when a president served 16 years, i don't think he would be happy about that at all. you couldn't have convinced him it was a good idea just because we were at war, for example. i think he might be a little alarmed to see so many executive orders going-forward. but the veto was a power that was very strong from the very beginning. was something that was discussed in -- during the time in the summer of 1789 it was already being discussed. congress was making their decisions about an executive veto. that's not something he would be surprised to see. i know -- i don't know if he had the right to name a supreme court justice in the last year of his term, i don't think there's any doubt he would feel it's his duty and his right within the power of the presidency to make that choice and make that nomination and send it to the senate. he would expect the senate to act. >> well, i think it's

washington 44. as a mags prepares to lesser successor, to the office of george washington defined 225 years ago we couldn't be any luckier to have someone with the original. welcome to the stage. >> you know, i love this book. what i really wonder about, why historians for so long have dismissed the controversy, just the curiosity, something that will be a paragraph or something in a book. . i'm interested how you came to this topic? >> first of all, they were wondering other historians wondered why spent so much time on it when they could have been working on them the amendment or what we know what they didn't quite realize how important it was -- on what they were going to do. about how washington became. and i came across -- you know, washington's presidency was trapped of the republican candidate. -- i didn't believe it. i thought it must have been dynamic also. . and he started talking about controversy and republican gave the idea and happened to mention that they have this multitude material

about washington. they had heard some of the lectures and wanted a small book that could reach, they thought, a broader and different audience. people can use it as a supplementary course book in college. butl enough for classes, also something you can take on an airplane and read. it captures the essence of the thesis that washington was a nationalist who brought the whole thing together. i make a solution at one point. they often say that james madison was the architect of the constitution. i reply, after doing all this vernon, that if james madison is the architect of the constitution, and he might be, then washington is the general contractor. if you are building a house are knowng in addition on, you you might like with the contractor has in mind and what the architect has in mind. washington had full support, and the funny thing is some of these great books on washington. like the four-part book by douglas friedman. skip this.em , they don't go into the nuts and bolts of what he did before the co

the timeless washington. the sculpture of washington. a plausible but idealized washington where he is being presented as the president. simple, plain, and a black suit. in a simple pose surrounded by rather gaudy items. drapery and so on. but he looks almost like a new england minister who has accidentally strayed into the court of louis the xvi. that is the look. that was the idea. this opened up a huge debate. i should read a little something from the book here about what these pictures ought to be. let me go back for a second. when trumbull wanted to get the federal government to pay him to paint those pictures in the rotunda, he began a public relations campaign. in this campaign he writes letters to congressmen and senators. he swallows his pride and talks to president james madison, who he really dislikes. he writes letters to his old pals. old john adams and old thomas jefferson, asking for their endorsement of this project. would you be so kind as to write letters to the president and the congress to endorse mike pictures that i

honored by washington's step grandson george washington and in many ways this house could be looked at is our first monument. for structure of any kind built to honor any man like that. this house had a fame all to itself apart from robert e. lee and then lee married into that family and bail part of the washington family and so with the coming of the civil war happened and lee was put in a very painful and difficult place in which he had to choose sides president lincoln wanted him to command federal troops and he couldn't find a war against virginia. his home and family as he characterized it and so he was caught in this terrible dilemma and ultimately his massive impact and course of american history that would follow and would lead to the u.s. government taking this home and plantation away from his family to punish him and creating arlington national cemetery as a place to honor the dead and also a form of revenge or retribution against lee for that role he played as a confederate general. so what you're seeing here at arlington house is primarily the original instruction built be

of "george washington, nationalist." if george washington were alive today and he saw the full run of this campaign, no matter who the victor is, what would he say? prof. larson: i think he would be appalled. he really did not believe in politics. he had this vision the people would run hard-fought campaigns. he worked on campaigns with others, hard-fought. but once you got there you were not supposed to be part of a party process. you were supposed to call each one as you saw them. if you look at the constitutional convention, he tried to lead by conciliation, by listening, by cooperation. at the constitutional convention, he listened to everyone, he met with people at night, he worked out compromises. sure, some did not go along. there were people he broke with like george mason. he brought enough together to work across lines. it was always shifting alliances. but this was not the dream he had. it's what we got though. brian: how much time have you spent at mount vernon to do your books the last couple of years? prof.

this is another case for washington, again coming see the virtues of washington. he doesn't there when he was kind of making the statement that the civilian government is supreme. he doesn't when he is president by deciding not to run for a third term. he probably could have been president for life but decided not to do it. mr. lamb: of all of your books, which one is for favorite? mr. puleo: impossible to answer. i love them all for various reasons. this book was a real labor of love because it is basically not only be history of these documents but really a history of the country which is encapsulated in these documents, so -- mr. lamb: what is next? mr. puleo: working on something that i prefer not to reveal at this point, kind of early but really excited about this next one. mr. lamb: is it history? mr. puleo: it is, of course. narrative history. mr. lamb: is it the last 50 years or the last 200 years? mr. puleo: it is prior to the last 50 years. mr. lamb: what was the hardest part? mr. puleo: i think the braided narrative. my first presented the proposal it w

when you go to washington and you see the washington monument, think of it as a capital "i" for integrity. the second commitment. a great leader shall stay above the partisan fray in the able to build consensus. building consensus is an essential part of the american success story. people going across the aisle, having dialogue, compromising, in being able to legislate effectively. the latin phrase on our money means "out of many, one." yes, in many groups, there is more than one faction. the president has to be able to pull the factions together. the president who was particularly good at staying above the fray and building consensus was thomas jefferson. the jefferson biographer i interviewed spent over 20 years as a professor of history at the university of virginia and he is the author of six books on thomas jefferson. because we live in a world where nobody can build consensus, i wanted to devote the interview to, how did jefferson do it yet go he was operating at a difficult time. the federalist party controlled by john adams and alexander hamilton was in constant conflict with the
