Presidential scholars increasingly turn to science to address the
fundamental issues in the field, but undergraduates are rarely
taught the skills to do the same. The American Presidency
introduces students to new insights produced by the scientific
study of the presidency and the scientific endeavor itself. After
chapters on the scientific study of the presidency and background
information on the presidency, the text discusses prominent
theories of presidential power. Chapters on presidential elections,
the president's relationship with other political actors (such as
Congress and the Supreme Court), the president's role in foreign
and economic policy, and presidential greatness include guided
research exercises that provide students with the opportunity to
apply the scientific method to empirical questions with significant
theoretical content. The American Presidency provides students with
the opportunity to learn about the presidency and enables them to
draw their own reasoned conclusions about the nature of
presidential power.
