The rise of presidential power poses a significant threat to
America's democratic values. It is clear that the tectonic plates
of the American political system are gravitating towards a model of
presidential government not envisioned and, in fact, precluded by
the constitutional design of the framers of the United States
Constitution. As the presidency eclipses Congress, the courts in
power, and public/media attention, the balance of powers has
tilted. In this accessible book, leading scholars explore the
reasons for and implications of the rising power of the presidency.
