On this Presidents Day, we look back at previous occupants of the White House and their legacies. How are those legacies formed, and how do they evolve over time? And, in some cases, how are they painstakingly nurtured?

Guests:

Jack Rakove, William Robertson Coe professor of history and American studies and professor of political science at Stanford University, and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Original Meanings: Politics and Ideas in the Making of the Constitution"

Doug Wead, presidential historian, former special assistant to U.S. President George H. W. Bush and author of "The Raising of a President: The Mothers and Fathers of our Nation's Leaders"

Henry Brady, dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy and professor of political science and public policy at UC Berkeley
