The prison population of the United States is over two million people, the highest of any country in the world, and larger than the gulag system at the height of the Soviet Union. Of these inmates, around 200,000 are held in federal prison, either before or after trial. The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has a fascinating history, often quite different than the local and state facilities it augments, and some of it is quite shocking.True to the nature of the United States, federal crimes were rare until the late 19th century. Most justice was dispensed at the town or county level, and US Marshals carried out arrests for crimes that went across states. Since it was formed in 1931, up until 1980, BOP inmates were a small group. But mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes, handed down by &quot;tough on crime&quot; judges and prosecutors, made this number skyrocket. With it has come a host of problems and inequities. Here are some startling facts about the federal prison population and the Bureau of Prisons that house it.

US History

This list of US presidents before and after major historical events gives visual insight into the presidential aging process. The ways in which big decisions, political scandals, and international warfare take a toll on a president becomes abundantly clear with the photographs below. See the ways in which World War II affected the Commander in Chief or the drastic difference between a pre-Iran-Contra Ronald Reagan and a post-Iran-Contra Ronald Reagan.

From FDR to LBJ, these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/presidents-before-and-after-their-terms/mick-jacobs" target="_blank">presidential before and after photos</a> are astounding. This job comes with gray hairs and wrinkles, as President Bill Clinton learned the hard way, given this appearance once impeachment was on the table. Speaking of impeachment, Richard Nixon got even saggier after the Watergate scandal, just as George W. Bush became far crustier once he was knee deep in the Iraq War. Even President Barack Obama shows intense aging after Benghazi and HealthCare.gov.

Which historical events took the biggest toll on sitting US presidents? Upvote the photos below that show the most drastic difference between the appearance of these US political leaders early in their terms, and later on, after the realities of politics and government affairs wore them down.

From the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/crazy-early-trump-presidency-things/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">outset of the Trump presidency</a> to the most recent <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/every-wtf-week-of-the-trump-administration/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">weeks of craziness</a>, the list of Trump administration resignations and firings&nbsp;has steadily grown. Trump has fired some of his most notable advisers, removed people he&nbsp;appointed&nbsp;only days or weeks earlier, and caused massive amounts of speculation as to his motives and agenda.

In late 2018, departures within the Trump administration hit an all-time high, with the <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2018/10/19/record-setting-white-house-staff-turnover-continues-with-news-of-counsels-departure/" target="_blank">Brookings Institute</a> reporting turnover in &quot;the most senior level of White House staff members&quot; rising to 83%. By July 2019, Trump officially saw&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/5625699/trump-cabinet-acosta/" target="_blank">more turnover in his first-term cabinet</a> than any president in 40 years.

Hard to keep up? Absolutely.&nbsp;Rife with rumors? Definitely. All of the Trump firings and resignations have created more questions than answers -&nbsp;not to mention numerous vacancies -&nbsp;so here&#39;s a run-down of the ins and outs of the Trump administration from the media, the affected parties, and the president himself. Here&#39;s everyone Trump has fired -&nbsp;so far, that is. Who else will make a (dis)graceful exit, joining the illustrious ranks of everyone fired from the Trump White House? Only time will tell.

Exploring the life and end Abraham Lincoln, the tall lawyer in the top hat who served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until he was taken out by an enemy in April 1865.

Lincoln the Liberator

History

The 16th President of the United States - Abraham Lincoln - is in the history books <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whoa-abraham-lincoln-facts/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">for many reasons</a>.&nbsp;Needless to say, one of the signature periods of his&nbsp;life and career revolves around his push to emancipate the nation&#39;s enslaved people in the mid-19th century. For many, that made him a beloved leader, but that wasn&#39;t the case with everyone. His efforts to abolish slavery were met with heavy opposition and ultimately launched the&nbsp;Civil War. By 1865, the Union had gained a significant upper hand. Lincoln had been reelected and was a beacon of hope for many Americans.

Because of the war efforts and a difficult reelection, Lincoln often found himself drained mentally, physically, and emotionally. To boost his spirits, he would enjoy the theater. On April 14, 1865, he and his wife took the short ride to Ford&#39;s Theater to catch a showing of <a href="https://www.wearethemighty.com/history/contents-abraham-lincolns-pocket?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1" target="_blank">Our American Cousin</a>.&nbsp;Word had gotten out that the president would be making an appearance, and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth took it as an opportunity to take out the man campaigning against his beliefs. With a single shot to the head, Booth did irreparable damage to Lincoln&#39;s brain, which led to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-after-lincoln-slaying/amandasedlakhevener" target="_blank">his passing the next morning</a>.&nbsp;

The assassination of Abraham Lincoln lives in infamy. At the time, security detail was hardly a thing for presidents. In fact, the life of the man leading the country was far more ordinary than would be expected today. Even the contents of his pockets that night were quite simple, but those items help humanize a man who lives on as a symbol of the American spirit.

Check out the oddly ordinary, yet somehow striking items found in Lincoln&#39;s pockets below.

The people who undertake&nbsp;Secret Service training keep presidents, vice presidents, first&nbsp;families, and even candidates safe. But their own lives can be incredibly dangerous.

The Secret Service agent job description includes both protection and investigation. Being an agent may seem glamorous, but it&#39;s&nbsp;often anything but. Agents spend long hours watching crowds for suspicious behavior, constantly functioning on high alert. They carry weapons, investigate crimes, secure locations, and&nbsp;keep&nbsp;some of the most <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-influential-people-2018/ranker-news" target="_blank">powerful people in the world</a> safe.

Government Secrets

Few things fuel conspiracy theories like learning that governments are actually hiding something. Though a tremendous amount of civic documentation in the United States&nbsp;is accessible to the public through various agencies&#39; websites or via the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/crazy-information-the-government-declassified-recently/chris-lindvall" target="_blank">Freedom Of Information Act</a> (FOIA), when materials get locked away with years-long temporary seals speculation about their nature runs wild. While there are often&nbsp;legitimate reasons for withholding information from the public for a period of time - not wanting to interrupt ongoing investigations, keeping operational practices quiet, concealing vulnerable identities, etc. - withholding information from the public for long periods of time creates conjecture.

The FBI has a &quot;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fbi-vault-case-files/laura-allan" target="_blank">vault</a>&quot; of sealed files, as do governments&nbsp;across the world.&nbsp;While it&nbsp;likely contains information on major cases ranging from the mundane to the highly controversial, a good deal of it will simply remain unknown for decades.

The tasks of a newly elected president run from ceremonial pomp to vitally important functions of the Executive Branch. Immediately after being elected, the president-elect starts a crash course in not just how to be president, but in articulating what they'll do in office. They have to handle everything from moving their clothes to mastering the complex system in place for launching nuclear missiles.Among the things new presidents do are get through the ceremonies of their inauguration, such as their speech and parade, having a last meeting with the outgoing president, swearing in their cabinet, pushing through the first changes they want to make, and maybe most importantly, being given &quot;the biscuit&quot; - the card that contains the codes they'd use to usher in World War III.Here are some of the coolest and most important things new presidents do when they take office.

U.S. Presidents

poll

The worst U.S. presidents of all time, measured by their negative impact on the nation, its citizens health and happiness, and its future prosperity. (In some cases -&nbsp;such as the popular selections of Warren G. Harding and Richard Nixon -&nbsp;the negative view of the president and his administration is due to various scandals and perceived corruption within its ranks. Nixon remains the only president to step down from the office amid&nbsp;threats of impeachment.)

Much of a president&#39;s job -&nbsp;including serving as the figurative head of the American state and setting the nation&#39;s general legislative and diplomatic agenda -&nbsp;is sort of intangible and hard to evaluate in strict &quot;good vs. bad&quot; terms. This makes any list of the &quot;best&quot; or &quot;worst&quot; US presidents essentially subjective, and though there were administrations with a significant series of positive or negative outcomes, it&#39;s rarely clear just how much these had to do with the person in office and how many were simply due to accidents of fate or circumstance. Nonetheless, in particularly extraordinary cases -&nbsp;such as the administration of Abraham Lincoln, which kept the nation intact during the Civil War crisis, or the administration of Andrew Johnson immediately after that threatened the entire success of the Reconstruction project -&nbsp;it is clear which presidents did an overall good or bad job.

Some are fairly innocent, while others have good reason for being so controversial. To be fair, children of politicians can oftentimes find themselves in the limelight just as often as their parents when when they stray from being the perfect child.

Which celebrity would you actually vote for if they ran for President of the United States? Many celebrities, from Kanye West to Dwayne &quot;The Rock&quot; Johnson, have publicly considered running for president. However, which celebrity do you think would actually make a good president?

After Oprah&#39;s powerful Golden Globes speech in 2018, in which she slammed the mistreatment of women in the film industry, there was a lot of buzz&nbsp;online of her launching a 2020 bid. It didn&#39;t happen in 2020, but one can dream.&nbsp;There are plenty of other actors, rappers, and just plain famous people who could probably handle having their finger on the button. From Kim Kardashian to Stephen Colbert, and even Charlie Sheen, here&rsquo;s a definitive list of other celebrities who should run for President of the United States.

If you think about it, being President of the United States isn&rsquo;t all that different from being a regular celebrity. People with no knowledge of what you really do are constantly criticizing you, you spend most of your time on a private airplane, and you have a giant posse. If you&rsquo;re a famous person, you might as well run for president every four years. Worst case scenario, you actually win and have to figure out which member of your inner circle is going to be your chief of staff. Which celebs do you think make great presidential candidates?

It is often said that being a two-term president is the goal of most politicians in America. The politicians on this list of American presidents did just that.

These re-elected presidents, from George Washington to Barack Obama, had two terms to prove themselves and your votes will determine who did the best job.Though some become lame duck presidents during their second terms as Commander in Chief, others began to find their groove and care less about the political ramifications of actually getting things done.

Which likable politicians would be fun to have a few drinks with? Many politicians market themselves as regular folks you&#39;d want to sit down for a beer with. George W. Bush, for one, is thought to have won the 2004 election because of his &quot;regular guy&quot; appeal. An <a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=N8FIAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=DIIMAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=3170,3777471&amp;dq=who+would+you+rather+have+a+beer+with+bush+or+kerry&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">August, 2004 Zogy/Williams Identity Poll </a>found that 57.3% of undecided voters would rather have had a beer with Bush over his opponent John Kerry - despite the fact that Bush didn&#39;t actually drink. This was around the time Kerry was doing well in polls, and it might have caused a resurgence in Bush&#39;s popularity.

But when it comes right down to it, who are the politicians you like who you&#39;d *actually* want to hang out with over a few oat sodas, as opposed to the ones who just want to make you think that because it might get you to pick them?

Here are the greatest United States Vice Presidents, ranked from best to worst. Vote up on the good VPs, and vote down on the bad ones.&nbsp;When America remembers&nbsp;the best&nbsp;vice presidents, names like Lyndon Johnson and Al Gore often come up. Although they had their mistakes, these VPs contributed much to their nation. Of course, there were U.S. Vice Presidents who utterly failed at their jobs. George H.W. Bush's Vice President Dan Quayle often made a fool of himself in the media (the &quot;potatoe&quot; incident).&nbsp;On November 8, 2016, Governor of Indiana Mike Pence was elected as the 48th&nbsp;Vice President. Appointed chairman of President Donald Trump's transition team, Vice President Mike Pence&nbsp;serves an important role as a mediator between the President and congressional Republicans.&nbsp;Don't forget to rerank this list and make your own version of the greatest U.S. Vice Presidents.
