- Summary:
-
"In this book presidential authority Charles O. Jones provides a concise survey of the American presidency, packed with information and surprising observations. Jones sheds much light on how assertive leaders - such as Andrew Jackson or Franklin D. Roosevelt - enhanced the power of the presidency, and he shows how such factors as philosophy, the legacy of previous presidencies, relations with Congress, and the impact of outside events have all influenced presidential authority."--BOOK JACKET.
