In addition, notable presidents and their terms of office will be examined to show how the office of the President has evolved. Past presidential elections will be compared to the current ones, demonstrating that controversy and outlandish behavior are not unique to the 2016 campaign. The results of the current election cycle also will be analyzed to see why one candidate was successful.
