When Franklin Roosevelt decided his administration needed a
large executive staff, he instituted dramatic and lasting changes
in the federal bureaucracy and in the very nature of the
presidency. Today, no president can govern without an enormous
White House staff. Yet analysts have disagreed about whether the
key to a president's success lies in his ability to understand and
adapt to the constraints of this bureaucracy or in his ability to
control and even transform it to suit his needs.
In "The Institutional Presidency" John Burke argues that both
skills are crucial. Burke examines how the White House staff
system--larger and more powerful than ever--interacts with a
particular president's management ability and style. Beginning with
the institutional presidency that emerged during the Roosevelt
administration, this new edition includes a revised chapter on the
Bush administration and a new chapter on Bill Clinton.
