As the holders of the only office elected by the entire nation,
presidents have long claimed to be sole stewards of the interests
of all Americans. Scholars have largely agreed, positing the
president as an important counterbalance to the parochial impulses
of members of Congress. This supposed fact is often invoked in
arguments for concentrating greater power in the executive branch.
Douglas L. Kriner and Andrew Reeves challenge this notion and,
through an examination of a diverse range of policies from disaster
declarations, to base closings, to the allocation of federal
spending, show that presidents, like members of Congress, are
particularistic. Presidents routinely pursue policies that allocate
federal resources in a way that disproportionately benefits their
more narrow partisan and electoral constituencies. Though
presidents publicly don the mantle of a national representative, in
reality they are particularistic politicians who prioritize the
needs of certain constituents over others.
