1. Go the White House website. It is a fun place to go to begin research on any one of the former or present president of the United States. There are several other sites that are reputable as well and certainly cannot be overlooked including USA History, History Central and the Miller Center. These sites help to reference time and place of birth for each of the men who has become president, as well as the men who stood by them as vice president.

Tips & Warnings

• When writing a report about an American president, be sure and focus on one of them.
• Write of his major accomplishments in office or those outside of office, in his personal life. Use both if completing a longer research project.
• It is safe to say as a rule that .gov and .edu are generally a great bet when doing research.
