The Imperiled Presidency: Presidential Leadership in the 21st
Century calls for a dramatic re-evaluation of the American
president's role within the separation of powers system. In
contrast with claims by academics, pundits, media, and members of
Congress, this provocative new book argues that the contemporary
American presidency is too weak rather than too strong. Cal
Mackenzie offers the contrarian argument that the real
constitutional crisis in contemporary American politics is not the
centralization and accumulation of power in the presidency, but
rather that effective governance is imperiled by the diminished
role of the presidency. The product of more than three years of
research and writing and nearly four decades of the author's
teaching and writing about the American presidency, The Imperiled
Presidency is the first book-length treatment of the weaknesses of
the modern presidency, written to be accessible to undergraduates
and interested citizens alike. It engages with a wide range of
literature that relates to the presidency, including electoral
politics, budgetary politics, administrative appointments, and the
conduct of foreign affairs. It would be a useful complement to
courses that rely primarily on a single textbook, as well as
courses that are built around more specific readings from a range
of books and articles.
