US President Poems ~ Founding Fathers

Welcome to the US President poems page of ClassroomPoems.com. The first section consists of five of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. These are the men who gathered to plan and fight the Revolutionary War and drafted the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States.

In the case of Bill Clinton, he had just one year of his term in the year 2000, and an election year at that! However, at the time, he was of a younger generation and did say on the stump that he wanted to lead the country into the 21st century.
