With the expansion of the federal government since the 1930s and
the rise of the United States as a global power in the twentieth
century, the need for a powerful president to direct American
priorities and policies is clear. In times of national crisis,
domestic and international focus on the president becomes even
greater, with the widespread expectation that executive leadership
is necessary to combat the challenge. The need for checks on that
power by other institutions of American government, namely Congress
and the courts, also is evident, though the balancing of
presidential power typically has not developed in conjunction with
its expansion. This edited volume analyses the growth of
presidential power from the Civil War era to the present, examining
both emergency situations in wartime and developments in non-crisis
periods.
