Once the concept of the modern presidency is clearly defined according to its attributes, it becomes clear that it has evolutionary roots that extend to the late 19th century. An examination of Grover Cleveland's presidencies shows that he laid the foundation for what has become the modern presidency by actions that took place during his two separated terms. He implemented
