内容説明

What, exactly, do Americans want from their president? A strong, innovative leader or someone who simply follows the will of the people? A president who insists on the ideals of his party or someone who builds bipartisan support? A president who exercises power forcefully or someone who establishes consensus before doing anything? The answer, according to the authors of this text, is that Americans want the president to be a leader and a follower, partisan and bipartisan, innovative and conservative. For example, it is expected that presidents will provide visionary leadership, and yet at the same time be ever-sensitive to public opinion polls. Americans want a president with the power to solve the nation's problems, yet are inherently suspicious of centralized leadership and the abuse of power. This study explores the paradoxes inherent in the role of President.
