If Clinton and Carter can have libraries, I don't see whay this guy can't.

Is this the same Sam Huntington that writes the books?

He was president of the congress for a couple of years, but the office of the Presidency as we now know it wasn't created until 1789.

Sorry no Presidental library for him, and no pile of money for Mr. Stanley.

This story has nothing to do with the Southern Confederacy .
