I have to continue with the theme of President Hayes because I discovered a very interesting factoid about him that I think is worth sharing. I do truly respect this man.
During his term of office, he issued an executive order forbidding federal office holders from taking part in party politics and receiving party contributions. Can you imagine how an order like that would change the face of political business as usual in our current climate? Rutherford B. Hayes was man of wisdom. It's unfortunate that his order was later reversed by some other, less principled president.
