Powerful though it may be, the Oval Office is not the source of all authority in government. In a revised edition of his classic book, updated through George W. Bush, Charles O. Jones explains that an exclusive focus on the U.S. presidency distorts the picture of how national government really works. Jones explores the ways in which presidents find their place in the permanent government and how they are "fitted in" by others, most notably those on Capitol Hill. Table of Contents 1 Perspectives on the presidency 2 Presidents and the presidency 3 Organizing to govern in the separated system 4 Public standing of the president 5 Presidents, mandates, and agendas 6 Presidents and lawmaking in a separated system 7 Making laws 8 Thinking about change
