Getting To Know The Presidency

Election Day has finally arrived and as voters head to the
polls, we learn about the American Presidency. Historian and Author Kenneth C. Davis’ new book is "Don’t Know Much About the American Presidents." He joins us
to explain why we have a President and not a king and sorts out the electoral
college idea. He also looks at the accomplishments of the two Vermont-born
Presidents – Chester A. Arthur and Calvin Coolidge.

Also in the program, Vermonters who have not voted already will be heading to the polls on Tuesday. We talk with Secretary of Sate Jim Condos about how voting is going, and we check in with VPR reporters at the polls.
