Event Details

Ever since Franklin Roosevelt ran up a series of huge legislative victories in his first 100 days in office, new presidents have been measured against a 100-day standard.

But William Antholis, director and CEO of the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, argues that 100 days is a flawed measure. A new president can best be judged by his first year in office, Antholis will explain on May 1 at a forum in New Orleans sponsored by The Advocate and the nonpartisan Miller Center.
