The Presidency in a Separated System

Challenging the facile portrayal of the US government as centered on the president, Jones (emeritus political science, U. of Wisconsin) examines the organizational, political, and procedural constraints on the chief executive, as well as the role of public approval. In the second edition, he refines his concepts, and updates his examples through Clinton and George W. Bush. No date is mentioned for the first. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
