"Presidential Funerals and Burials" - S 2 EP 9
Season 2 Episode 9: Presidential Funerals and Burials
My Citizen Legislators, several days ago the world learned that former US President James “Jimmy” Carter announced he is entering hospice care at home with his family. I was eleven years old when Jimmy Carter was elected president of the United States. During his presidency America was going through an energy crisis, inflation as well as Americans being held hostage in Iran.
A dear friend and former colleague reached out to me after the announcement and asked if she could stay with me so she could attend his state funeral. This got me thinking about what starts the process of a state funeral for a former president. I want to discuss Presidential funerals and burials. Let’s get into it!
I don’t want to make this episode morbid, however, throughout my life I’ve watched and paid tribute to former presidents that have died. Living in the DMV,
Thank you for the opportunity to share my knowledge and love of politics. I look forward to geeking out with you again.

Welcome back to Topless Government. This show is a cross between Schoolhouse Rock and civics for the masses. I want to make this show relatable and fun for everyone who would like to know how YOUR government works. Remember knowledge is power! So let’s get started.
I am the host, Crystal Ellerbe. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep politics. I’ve done two tours of duty in the US Senate and one tour of duty in the US House. I had the privilege of working in state and local governments, corporate America and several lobbying firms in Washington, DC.
This is the SECOND SEASON OF TOPLESS GOVERNMENT and I’ll be discussing topics that have been top of mind to everyone, providing an insight on how YOUR government works.
As always I would be pleased if you would subscribe, rate, share, and review the show.
