SATT 027.1 - Richard Rush Part One

Tenure of Office: February 10, 1814 - November 12, 1817 (as Attorney General); March 07, 1825 - March 05, 1829 (as Secretary of the Treasury) As discussed in this two-part episode, while Richard Rush may not be the most well-known Cabinet member we've examined to date, his career spanning four decades meant that he was involved with some major events in US presidential and world history from the War of 1812 on. Join me and my special guest, Alycia from Civics & Coffee, as we explore in Part One of this episode Rush's career through his tenure as Attorney General and his service as US Minister to Britain.
