Six frameworks for understanding the presidency

This contributed volume maps six approaches to the American presidency: liberal, conservative, moderate, constitutionalist, libertarian, and presidentialist, including the unitary-executive perspective. Its chapters use a shared structure, making the approaches easier to compare across recurring questions: relations between the president and Congress, presidential power and accountability, the rule of law, and domestic and foreign policy. The organizing framework makes the book a comparative examination of how different political perspectives interpret presidential leadership and the scope of executive authority.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students comparing political approaches to the American presidency
  • Readers interested in presidential power, accountability, and executive-congressional relations
  • Those studying how political perspectives shape debates about domestic and foreign policy
