Modern presidents regularly appeal over the heads of Congress to
the people at large to generate support for public policies. The
Rhetorical Presidency makes the case that this development, born at
the outset of the twentieth century, is the product of conscious
political choices that fundamentally transformed the presidency and
the meaning of American governance. Now with a new foreword by
Russell Muirhead and a new afterword by the author, this landmark
work probes political pathologies and analyzes the dilemmas of
presidential statecraft. Extending a tradition of American
political writing that begins with The Federalist and continues
with Woodrow Wilson's Congressional Government, The Rhetorical
Presidency remains a pivotal work in its field.
