In this Screen Gems outtake, former president Harry S. Truman stands in front of portraits of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington while he discusses the history of other presidents. He explains that some were wealthy and others were not; and the ones who were not did not exploit the presidency for financial gain. He reviews the history of Andrew Johnson, who was abused when he became president, and went on to be a Senator from Tennessee before he died.
