President Carter's vice-presidential legacy - The Hill (blog)

The news that former President Jimmy Carter has metastatic cancer should cause some reflection on his service as a former president and as president. Part of his underappreciated legacy as president was the historic role he played in elevating the vice presidency from an awkward, standby position to a constructive part of government on an ongoing basis. The vice presidency had grown before Carter became president but vice presidents tended to be involved episodically. Gerald Ford’s vice president, Nelson A. Rockefeller, began his service with lofty expectations and seemingly with a big portfolio over domestic policy. It soon became apparent that Rockefeller’s formal role did not confer power and his vice presidency ended in humiliation when he was dropped from Ford’s 1976 ticket. Presidents lacked the will, the savvy, or both to make their vice presidents constructive parts of their administrations on an ongoing basis. Presidents until Carter, that is. Before he was nominated, Carter concluded that the vice presidency had been a wasted asset in part because presidents felt threatened by their number twos. Moreover, he viewed the president as a trustee for the American people, a fiduciary obligation that conferred a responsibility to use available resources and to make certain that the vice president was able and sufficiently prepared to assume the...

Down Memory Lane for Aug. 20 - Rappahannock News

April Heddleston of Sperryville is a featured author in the November issue of Welcome Home, a monthly journal devoted to the support of mothers choosing to stay home to raise their children.

Jimmy Carter on cancer: Future in God's hands - CNN

Carter, 90, said he initially thought he had only weeks to live when he first learned of the diagnosis. At the news conference in Atlanta where he sat alone before a bank of reporters and cameras, Carter said he would begin a course of radiation therapy on Thursday afternoon. "I have had a wonderful life," Carter said with the same unsparing honesty and meticulous detail that marked his presidency. "I'm ready for anything and I'm looking forward to new adventure," Carter said, in the 40-minute appearance before the cameras, in which he frequently beamed his huge smile and never fell prey to emotion. Carter, speaking slowly and softly and wearing a coat and tie with blue jeans, said he had been overwhelmed with phone calls of support -- including outreach from Secretary of State John Kerry and former presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush,... His devoted partner Rosalynn , the former First Lady, looked on, as Carter described her as the "pinnacle" of his life. "We've had 69 years together, still together," Carter said. The former president announced that he would cut back on the globetrotting personal diplomacy, peacemaking, election monitoring and pioneering public health work with which he has redefined the role of presidents once they leave office.
