hat do you do with yourself after holding the most powerful office in the world? A relatively young man, Bill Clinton probably has many years to come up with his own answers to this question. After the White House is the first book to take a systematic look at the post-presidential careers of Clinton and his prede-cessors. Thirty-two completed their terms. Four became presidential candidates again (one was even elected), two served in Congress, one accepted election to the Confederate Congress, and one became Chief Justice. Clinton has the unique distinction of his first lady becoming a United States senator. Jefferson created the University of Virginia. Teddy Roosevelt embarked on an African safari upon leaving office. Many remained influential figures; others were ostracized when political rivals succeeded them (like Hoover during FDR's terms). Rich with anecdotes, After the White House provides an entertaining and unique per-spec-tive on the lives of presidents.
