SUMMARY:Speaker Series: George Washington and the Presidential Title Controversy of 1789
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Kathleen Bartoloni-Tuazon for an engaging exploration of one of the earliest and most revealing debates in American history—the 1789 controversy over the president’s title.

She has appeared several times on C-SPAN and lectures on the presidency\, the evolution of executive power\, and the Washington administration.  Her book\, For Fear of an Elective King\, has been recommended by sources as varied as Vanity Fair\, Presidential Studies Quarterly\, The Journal of the Early Republic and The American Historical Review.
