The Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) is a non-profit, non-partisan policy and education organization located in Washington, D.C. The Center’s mission is to: promote leadership in and cooperation between the President and Congress; preserve the historic memory of the Presidency by identifying critical lessons from past Executive successes and failures; generate innovative solutions to current national challenges; identify ways to better organize an increasingly compartmentalized federal government; and educate and inspire the next generation of America’s leaders to incorporate civility, inclusiveness, and character into their public and private lives and discourse.
The Center incorporated as a non-partisan 501(c)(3) in 1969, growing out of the Library of the Presidential Papers, founded in 1965. Inspired by President Dwight Eisenhower's call for programs on the American Presidency for "students old and young…characterized by accuracy, objectivity and perspective," the Center began educating young leaders and examining public policy issues that required Presidential consideration and action. Dr. R. Gordon Hoxie, a historian and Chancellor of Long Island University, became the first President of the Center, and Arthur T. Roth, a banker and Board Vice Chair at Long Island University, the first Chairman of the Center's Board of Trustees.
In late 2008, the Center launched an initiative aimed at both renewing the nation's sense of civility and purpose and helping policy makers develop practical, concrete solutions to national crises. An initial step in the renewal was the name extension of the Center to the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, which reflects CSPC's extensive work both on and with Capitol Hill. The work of CSPC has allowed the organization to deliver strategies and solutions related to defense, energy, procurement, technological advancements, and learning from lessons of history, to aid Congress and the Presidency in making informed policy decisions in our modern day.
