The Rhetorical Presidency by Jeffrey K. Tulis (1987-10-21)

The Rhetorical Presidency (Princeton Paperbacks)
(Modern presidents regularly appeal over the heads of Cong...)
Modern presidents regularly appeal over the heads of Congress to the people at large to generate support for public policies. Jeffrey K. Tulis argues that this political development, born at the outset of the twentieth century, is neither simply logical nor unequivocably benign. Rather it is the product of conscious political choices that fundamentally transformed the presidency and the meaning of American governance. Changes in rhetorical practice reflect and amplify changes in large perspectives upon the constitutional order. Tulis examines successive understandings of the founders, of Theodore Roosevelt, and of Woodrow Wilson, and he traces the altered meanings of presidential practice. The author displays American politics as a layered text with later developments superimposed upon, rather than simply elaborating or replacing, earlier theories and practices. He shows how presidents today inhabit a polity that is governed simultaneously by the theory that bears the modern rhetorical presidency and by the theory that underlies the older constitutional order. It is in this political twilight that the dilemmas of presidential statecraft may be seen. Extending a tradition of American political writing that begins with The Federalist and continues with Woodrow Wilson's Congressional Government, The Rhetorical Presidency views an institution from the perspective of the polity. It treats ideas as constitutive of political life.

The Presidency in the Constitutional Order: An Historical Examination (American Presidents)
( This classic collection of studies, first published in ...)
This classic collection of studies, first published in 1980, contributes to the revival of interest in the powers and duties of the American presidency. Unlike many previous books on the constitution and the president, the contributors to this volume are political scientists, not law professors. Accordingly, they display political scientists' concern with structures as well as power, with conflict between the branches of government as well as their functional separation, and with political prescription as well as legal analysis. Underlying the entire volume is a persistent attention to the nature of executive power and its particular manifestation in the American system. Part One introduces the foundations that underlie contemporary issues, including the famous James Madison-Alexander Hamilton debate over the powers of the presidency. Contemporary political and scholarly controversies, which are the subjects of Part Two, include the constitutionality of the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the legislative veto, executive privilege and secrecy, the character of the presidency, presidential selection, and the nature of executive power. The essays in The Presidency in the Constitutional Order represent some of the most cogent thought available about the highest elected office in America, and the themes of the volume continue to be timely and provocative.
