This volume uses essential and illuminating primary documents as a
portal for understanding the evolution and present parameters of
presidential power, the relationship between America's three
branches of government, and why wartime often leads presidents to
claim expansive powers and authority. Presidential Power: Documents
Decoded provides a thorough examination of the historical and
political context of key, critical moments in constitutional
history and presidential power that makes possible opportunities
for students to explore American politics in an interesting,
memorable, and dynamic way. Each of the case studies reveals
important dimensions of the constitutional order in the United
States—and enables readers to better grasp how executive power
has shifted and expanded. The book takes specific events, people,
institutions, or ideas and places them in a broader context so that
readers can observe patterns and make connections among seemingly
disparate happenings and concepts relating to executive power.
Accompanied by explanatory sidebars, the included primary sources
let students examine actual documentary evidence of key elements of
executive power—for example, the presidential memorandum, the
National Security cable, and the prisoner's petition—and reach
their own judgment of the implications of that document for the
American political system.
