This book offers an accessible and compelling guide to the American
presidency by exploring a series of key questions. How powerful is
the American presidency, and to what extent is presidential power
dependent on persuasion? Do the personal qualities of presidents
drive events, or does the institution of the presidency shape their
choices? Is the presidency a "unitary" office or a limited and
circumscribed institution? Which is more important, character or
competence? Is presidential success a matter of skill or
opportunity? And will future presidencies turn away from checks and
balances in favor of illiberal democracy? Michael A. Genovese, a
leading scholar of the presidency, provides a clear overview of the
core arguments and debates over the essential characteristics of
this contradictory institution. Ideal for classroom use, this book
provides insights into what the presidency was designed to be, what
it has evolved into, how it has been reshaped to respond to new
demands, and what its future might hold. Engaging and
reader-friendly, The Modern Presidency gives students the tools to
think critically about the nature of this complex office and how
its powers can be wielded.
