Every presidency begins with
the simple oath of office, as prescribed by the Constitution:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will
faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will
to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States."
Though the words have not changed since George Washington first spoke them, each utterance of the oath initiates a new
direction in American
history. The incoming President brings to the office a unique
blend of personality and leadership skills, to temporarily
navigate the ship of state through unknown, often turbulent waters. All
presidents faced momentous decisions, that if traced forward to the present,
helped shape the world we live in today.
Only a tiny handful of men
have had the privilege to serve as President of the United States. A
series of presidential commemorative coins are now being minted to honor those
individuals who once held the nation's highest office. Some of them are
better remembered than others, but for many Americans, it is the institution
of the Presidency itself that is revered most.
Four presidential
dollar coins are released into general circulation each year, beginning in
2007. Click on any linked presidential name below to learn more about
the man himself and the historical legacy of his administration. As more coin designs are
announced by the U.S. Mint, they too will be included in our "Hail to the
Chiefs" page.
