Presidency and Congress: Executive Hegemony at the Crossroads of American Government

By Robert J. Spitzer

This text offers a look at the evolving relationship between the president and Congress. By focusing heavily on the historical, legal and political perspectives that shape the interaction of the two branches, President and Congress seeks in part to counter the narrow and ahistorical nature of much modern presidential - congressional analysis. The text examines the trends that have led to the rise of the modern strong presidency, the apparent decline of Congress, and the implications of these trends for the constitutional separation of power.
