Viewing the presidency as essentially a political office, the authors analyze the institution, the individuals who have served, the president's interaction with the public and other government branches and the chief executive's impact on public policy. The examine the president's various roles and show how effectiveness in office varies with the occupant's character, political style, and performance in a politicized environment. Noted scholar John Matlese joins the book in this edition which is revised and updated to include a full assessment of Clinton's last term in office and thorough coverage of George W. Bush's first 100 days in the White House.
