Presidents face numerous challenges as they endeavor to meet expectations of leadership beyond given powers. “Connecting to and leading the government” shows how the presidency manages the many organizations and expenditures of government, a task that has grown in size, complexity, and intensity over time. To whom or what must presidents connect? The many cabinet departments and major agencies are described along with the roles of the inner circle—key advisers and assistants, the vice president, and the first spouse. The federal government is intricately connected to governance in the fifty states and thousands of localities. The challenge for presidents is to take advantage of bureaucratic experience in formulating and promoting their programs.

Government Shutdown

Significance The currently anonymous whistleblower is expected to testify to Congress about the complaint, which alleges that Trump abused his office to get Ukraine to investigate political rival and 2020 Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden, the former US vice president. Trump denies there was any wrongdoing or quid pro quo. Impacts Depending on how the impeachment process goes, the Democrats and Republicans could both benefit. The Democrats will investigate other administration and cabinet officials as part of the probe. Investigating other officials could prolong the impeachment story, perhaps beyond the end of any presidential impeachment. Impeachment in November, heightening partisan divisions, could coincide with a federal government shutdown, exacerbating it. If Trump were removed, Vice President Mike Pence would become president immediately.

Max Huber was born on 28 December 1874, barely fifteen years after Solferino and Henry Dunant's action in the Chiesa Maggiore at Castiglione, and only ten years after the first Geneva Convention. Thus he grew up with the Red Cross, with which he was to become intimately associated. At the beginning of our century, he wrote about the role and duties of the Red Cross and the Geneva Committee, and also spoke about them in his lectures on international law at Zurich University. He represented Switzerland at various international conferences, including the 1907 Hague Conference; acted as legal expert to the Federal Government; was a member and later president of the Permanent Court of International Justice. In 1923 he was elected a member, in 1925 Vice-President and in 1928 President of the ICRC, to which he tirelessly devoted himself until 1944. When his successor, Carl J. Burckhardt, took leave of absence, he agreed to resume the presidential duties for a time. In token of gratitude, the ICRC made him honorary president for life.
