How institutions shape the American presidency This incisive
undergraduate textbook emphasizes the institutional sources of
presidential power and executive governance, enabling students to
think more clearly and systematically about the American presidency
at a time when media coverage of the White House is awash in
anecdotes and personalities. William Howell offers unparalleled
perspective on the world's most powerful office, from its original
design in the Constitution to its historical growth over time; its
elections and transitions to governance; its interactions with
Congress, the courts, and the federal bureaucracy; and its
persistent efforts to shape public policy. Comprehensive in scope
and rooted in the latest scholarship, The American Presidency is
the perfect guide for studying the presidency at a time of acute
partisan polarization and popular anxiety about the health and
well-being of the republic. Focuses on the institutional structures
that presidents must navigate, the incentives and opportunities
that drive them, and the constraints they routinely confront Shows
how legislators, judges, bureaucrats, the media, and the broader
public shape the contours and limits of presidential power
Encourages students to view the institutional presidency as not
just an object of study but a way of thinking about executive
politics Highlights the lasting effects of important historical
moments on the institutional presidency Enables students to grapple
with enduring themes of power, rules, norms, and organization that
undergird democracy
