Description

This scholarly work by Routledge challenges conventional understanding of executive authority by arguing that presidential government functions largely as a misleading construct affecting both leaders and the public alike. Nine prominent presidential scholars contribute rigorous analysis examining the presidency's actual mechanisms, investigating how the office operates across domestic, economic, and national security portfolios. The book addresses fundamental questions about the president's true role in governance, the erosion of traditional executive leadership tools, and the organisational structures through which the president manages complex policy domains. Readers gain critical insight into federal regulation as a potential source of presidential power and the gap between perceived and actual presidential authority. This essential resource is vital for students of political science, government professionals, and citizens seeking to understand American executive power beyond popular misconceptions.
