Eminent scholar Saikrishna Prakash offers the first truly
comprehensive study of the original American presidency. Drawing
from a vast range of sources both well known and obscure, this
volume reconstructs the powers and duties of the nation's chief
executive at the Constitution's founding. Among other subjects,
Prakash examines the term and structure of the office of the
president, as well as the president's power as constitutional
executor of the law, authority in foreign policy, role as commander
in chief, level of control during emergencies, and relationship
with the Congress, the courts, and the states. This ambitious and
even-handed analysis counters numerous misconceptions about the
presidency and fairly demonstrates that the office was seen as
monarchical from its inception.
