| Abstract | "It is an examination of the American presidency from a purely consti-tutional perspective. Beginning with an overview of the Framers' debates over the construction and duties of the office, the work explores the three primary charges of the office (administrator, military commander, diplomat), the legal and constitutional perimeters of the office, as well as suggestions on reforms to return it to its original form"-- Provided by publisher. |
