The presidents
Every president, held to the same standard
Pick a president to see what happened to the debt, jobs and prices on their watch, every executive order and pardon, their legal record, and the controversies, each one labeled by what was actually proven.
Every president has a deep dive. Colored bars show party: Democrats blue, Republicans red, and earlier parties (Federalists gold, Democratic-Republicans teal, Whigs orange) their own colors. Gray means no party or a break with it.
