The Toy Presidents are now half-priced! They have never been removed from their original boxes. The Toy Presidents are being sold as-is, with no returns or exchanges, because some have dead batteries. These batteries were available from Toy Presidents, Inc., for $1 apiece, and they may be available from local stores that sell batteries. Remove the battery and take it with you during your search.

Bringing to the Presidency his prestige as commanding general of the victorious forces in Europe during World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower obtained a truce in Korea and worked incessantly during his two terms to ease the tensions of the Cold War. He pursued the moderate policies of 'Modern Republicanism,' pointing out as he left office, 'America is today the strongest, most influential, and most productive nation in the world.' Born in Texas, raised in Kansas, Eisenhower received an appointment to West Point and by D-Day, 1944, he was Supreme Commander of the troops invading France. After the war, he became President of Columbia University, then took leave to assume supreme command over the new NATO forces being assembled in 1951. Republican emissaries to his headquarters near Paris persuaded him to run for President in 1952. 'I like Ike' was an irresistible slogan; Eisenhower won a sweeping victory. Negotiating from military strength, he tried to reduce the strains of the Cold War. In 1953, the signing of a truce brought an armed peace along the border of South Korea. Meanwhile, both Russia and the United States had developed hydrogen bombs. With the threat of such destructive force hanging over the world, Eisenhower, with the leaders of the British, French, and Russian governments, met at Geneva in July 1955. In domestic policy the President pursued a middle course, continuing most of the New Deal and Fair Deal programs, emphasizing a balanced budget. As desegregation of schools began, he sent troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, to assure compliance with the orders of a Federal court; he also ordered the complete desegregation of the Armed Forces. 'There must be no second class citizens in this country,' he wrote. Eisenhower concentrated on maintaining world peace. He watched with pleasure the development of his atoms for peace' program--the loan of American uranium to 'have not' nations for peaceful purposes. He died, after a long illness, on March 28, 1969.
