This classic collection of studies, first published in 1980,
contributes to the revival of interest in the powers and duties of
the American presidency. Unlike many previous books on the
constitution and the president, the contributors to this volume are
political scientists, not law professors. Accordingly, they display
political scientists' concern with structures as well as power,
with conflict between the branches of government as well as their
functional separation, and with political prescription as well as
legal analysis. Underlying the entire volume is a persistent
attention to the nature of executive power and its particular
manifestation in the American system. Part One introduces the
foundations that underlie contemporary issues, including the famous
James Madison-Alexander Hamilton debate over the powers of the
presidency. Contemporary political and scholarly controversies,
which are the subjects of Part Two, include the constitutionality
of the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the legislative veto,
executive privilege and secrecy, the character of the presidency,
presidential selection, and the nature of executive power. The
essays in The Presidency in the Constitutional Order represent some
of the most cogent thought available about the highest elected
office in America, and the themes of the volume continue to be
timely and provocative.
