The first President to have an extraordinary first 100 days of his term was Franklin D. Roosevelt. With the combination of his party controlling Congress, momentum from his campaign, and a public outcry for action, Congress passed all the legislation he proposed in his first 100 days. Included in this legislation was his New Deal, which was intended to help the economy recover from the great depression. Due to his incredible success in passing legislation and reviving the economy, his first 100 days is used as a benchmark for comparing the effectiveness of new Presidents.
