John D. Rockefeller III (hereafter JDR3), despite being the titular heir to the Rockefeller fortune and carrying the name of Standard Oil's feared founder, was hardly a prominent public figure during his lifetime, while Laurance has always eschewed public exposure, rarely making public speeches or appearances.
Laurance majored in philosophy at Princeton, the exposure to "rational scrutiny" causing him to dispense with most of his religious beliefs.
Laurance went on to observe that a "new pattern of living" had emerged in the 1970s that included a wide range of recreational fads such as fitness as well as the growing commitment to environmentalist practices such as energy efficiency and recycling.

Moreover, in 1798, when the United States was quarreling with both France and Great Britain, the U.S. Senate elected a naturalized citizen with a distinguished record of service to his adopted country, John Laurance of New York, as its President Pro Tempore.
Laurance had immigrated to the United States from England well before the Constitution was adopted, so he was eligible to be President.
For example, one of John Laurance's fellow senators, a natural born citizen named William Blount, was thrown out of the Senate in 1797 for conspiring with the British.

 U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > People > Officers & Staff > President Pro Tempore
From John Adams in 1789 to Alben Barkley in 1952, presiding over the Senate was the chief function of vice presidents, who had an office in the Capitol, received their staff support and office expenses through the legislative appropriations, and who often were not invited to participate in cabinet meetings or other executive activities.
In 1953, Vice President Richard M. Nixon changed the vice presidency by moving his chief office from the Capitol to the White House, by directing his attention to executive functions, and by attending Senate sessions only at critical times when his vote, or ruling from the chair, might be necessary.
John Adams, the first vice president, saw the presiding officer as a distinctly neutral figure, and what he began has remained constant over the past two centuries.
