Description
The nature of the presidency has been debated since the drafting of the United States Constitution. The Federalists felt a strong executive was the backbone and prime mover of a strong government. The Anti-Federalists felt the presidency represented monarchical tendencies and could potentially subvert the nature of republican government. How does executive leadership, as defined in the Constitution, fit in with a limited government with enumerated powers? In this classic study, Pendleton Herring contends that an energetic president is not a threat to existing democratic government arightly understood.a His conception of presidential leadership requires an executive who has a mastery of administration, arguing that the existing system is sufficiently plastic to be able to cope with any national crisisabut the president must be able to work within that system in the most efficient manner possible.
