Eds. Joseph M. Bessette, Jeffrey Tulis. With Richard Nixon having so recently high-tailed it out of town one step ahead of the posse, most studies of the US presidency during the late 1970s were conducted by law scholars. Here political scientists take their turn, emphasizing structures as well as powers, conflict between the branches of government as well as the functional separation, and political prescription as well as legal analysis. They begin with foundations: the Constitution, Madison, and Hamilton. Turning then to contemporary issues, they consider such matters as the War Powers Resolution and the war powers, the congressional veto and the constitutional separation of powers, on presidential character, and the ambivalence of executive power.
