Question: Eisenhower denied McCarthy access to the personnel of what branch of the federal government?

Answer: Executive

In May 1955, McCarthy threatened to issue subpoenas to White House personnel. Eisenhower was furious, and issued an order as follows: "It is essential to efficient and effective administration <hl> that employees of the Executive Branch be in a position to be completely candid in advising with each other on official matters ... <hl> it is not in the public interest that any of their conversations or communications, or any documents or reproductions, concerning such advice be disclosed." This was an unprecedented step by Eisenhower to protect communication beyond the confines of a cabinet meeting, and soon became a tradition known as executive privilege. Ike's denial of McCarthy's access to his staff reduced McCarthy's hearings to rants about trivial matters, and contributed to his ultimate downfall.

Question: Who won a Senate majority in 1954?

Answer: Democrats

<hl> The Democrats gained a majority in both houses in the 1954 election. <hl> Eisenhower had to work with the Democratic Majority Leader Lyndon B.

There were exceptions, Leonard W.

However, these exceptions were not enough to right the balance."

Question: Where did Eisenhower pick up the habit of smoking?

Answer: West Point

<hl> Eisenhower began smoking cigarettes at West Point , often two or three packs a day. <hl> Eisenhower stated that he "gave [himself] an order" to stop cold turkey in March 1949 while at Columbia. He was probably the first president to release information about his health and medical records while in office. On September 24, 1955, while vacationing in Colorado, he had a serious heart attack that required six weeks' hospitalization, during which time Nixon, Dulles, and Sherman Adams assumed administrative duties and provided communication with the President. He was treated by Dr. Paul Dudley White, a cardiologist with a national reputation, who regularly informed the press of the President's progress. Instead of eliminating him as a candidate for a second term as President, his physician recommended a second term as essential to his recovery.

Question: What caused Eisenhower's stroke of 1957?

Answer: left ventricular aneurysm

<hl> As a consequence of his heart attack, Eisenhower developed a left ventricular aneurysm , which was in turn the cause of a mild stroke on November 25, 1957. <hl> This incident occurred during a cabinet meeting when Eisenhower suddenly found himself unable to speak or move his right hand. The stroke had caused an aphasia. The president also suffered from Crohn's disease, chronic inflammatory condition of the intestine, which necessitated surgery for a bowel obstruction on June 9, 1956. To treat the intestinal block, surgeons bypassed about ten inches of his small intestine. His scheduled meeting with Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was postponed so he could recover from surgery at his farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He was still recovering from this operation during the Suez Crisis. Eisenhower's health issues forced him to give up smoking and make some changes to his dietary habits, but he still indulged in alcohol. During a visit to England he complained of dizziness and had to have his blood pressure checked on August 29, 1959; however, before dinner at Chequers on the next day his doctor General Howard Snyder recalled Eisenhower "drank several gin-and-tonics, and one or two gins on the rocks ... three or four wines with the dinner".
