Concerns about unaccountable executive power have featured
recurrently in political debates from the American founding to
today. For many, presidents' use of unilateral power threatens
American democracy. No Blank Check advances a new perspective:
Instead of finding Americans apathetic towards how presidents
exercise power, it shows the public is deeply concerned with core
democratic values. Drawing on data from original surveys,
innovative experiments, historical polls, and contexts outside the
United States, the book highlights Americans' skepticism towards
presidential power. This skepticism results in a public that
punishes unilaterally minded presidents and the policies they
pursue. By departing from existing theories of presidential power
which acknowledge only institutional constraints, this timely and
revealing book demonstrates the public's capacity to tame the
unilateral impulses of even the most ambitious presidents.
Ultimately, when it comes to exercising power, the public does not
hand the president a blank check.
