Recent presidents have exploited the power of the American
presidency more fully than their predecessors and with greater
consequence than the framers of the Constitution anticipated. This
book, in the tradition of Arthur Schlesinger's great work The
Imperial Presidency (1973), explores how American presidents
especially those of the past three decades have increased the power
of the presidency at the expense of democracy. Matthew Crenson and
Benjamin Ginsberg provide a fascinating history of this trend,
showing that the expansion of presidential power dates back over
one hundred years. Presidential Power also looks beyond the
president's actions in the realm of foreign policy to consider
other, more hidden, means that presidents have used to
institutionalize the power of the executive branch."
