	George Washington, (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799, called Father of His Country, was a French and Indian War Soldier and American general and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) and later the 1^st President of the United States of America under the U.S. Constitution (1789-97). He also served as President of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. For the role he played in winning and securing American independence, George Washington is generally recognized as one of the most important figures in U.S. history. Unlike many other revolutionary leaders, he voluntarily relinquished power even though some others wanted him to retain that power for life (as monarchs and dictators do). This established an important precedent of republican democracy that served as an example around the world.
	Stephen Grover Cleveland, (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was the 22nd (1885–1889) and 24th (1893–1897) President of the United States, and the only President to serve two non-consecutive terms. He was the only Democrat elected to the presidency in the era of Republican political domination between 1860 and 1912, and he was the first Democrat to be elected after the Civil War. His admirers praise him for his honesty, independence and integrity, and for his adherence to the principles of classical liberalism [Wilson 1897]. Critics complained that he had little imagination and seemed overwhelmed by the nation's economic problems in his second term. He lost control of his Democratic party to the agrarians and silverites in 1896.
	William Howard Taft, (September 15, 1857 – March 8, 1930) was an American politician, the 27th President of the United States, the 10th Chief Justice of the United States, a leader of the progressive conservative wing of the Republican Party in the early twentieth century, a chaired professor at Yale Law School, a pioneer in international arbitration, and a staunch advocate of world peace that verged on pacifism (though the pacifists of his time did not call him one of their own). His presidency was characterized by trust-busting, strengthening the Interstate Commerce Commission, expanding the civil service, establishing a better postal system, and promoting world peace. Taft defeated Roosevelt for the Republican nomination in a bruising battle in 1912. In 1921, he became Chief Justice and is the only President to have served on the Supreme Court of the United States.
	James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr., (born October 1, 1924), an American Democratic party leader, was the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981) and the Nobel Peace laureate in 2002. Previously, he was the Governor of Georgia (1971-1975). He was a dark horse who surprised all observers by winning the Democratic nomination in 1976 and defeating incumbent Gerald Ford in a close 1976 Presidential election Surveys of scholars and specialists rank him well below average on the list of Historical rankings of United States Presidents. Carter's proudest accomplishment during his Presidency was the Camp David Accords. The Camp David Accords were a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, which was negotiated by President Carter. Carter invited Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Camp David to work on the negotiations. To this date, there is peace between them.
