“Political Time” Presidency (Stephen Skowronek)

A dominant ideological regime and each president’s association with it President’s own political identity (resources) Opposed Affiliated Regime strength Vulnerable Resilient 1. Politics of Reconstruction (Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, FDR, Reagan) 4. Politics of Disjunction (John Quincy Adams, Buchanan, Hoover, Carter) 3. Politics of Preemption (Andrew Johnson, Wilson, Nixon, Clinton) 2. Politics of Articulation (Monroe, Polk, TR, LBJ)

Political Times I Politics of Reconstruction Opposed to a weak regime Wins a big election that repudiates weak regime’s ideas (“critical election theory”) Mandate for change and wide leeway to control nation’s new agenda Jackson (the Jacksonian Democracy) FDR (the New Deal era) Reagan (the “center-right” country)

Political Times II Politics of Articulation (“faithful sons”) Affiliated with a resilient regime Sticking with dominant ideology of their party’s regime and carving out own policy niche Dealing with conflicting factions with a strong regime Polk (the Jacksonian Democracy) LBJ (the New Deal era) Bush 41 (center-right country)

Political Times III Politics of Preemption Opposed to a dominant regime Have to co-opt some of the dominant regime’s ideas and little legitimate authority to change policy commitments Andrew Johnson (vs. radical Republicans), Nixon (vs. liberal Democrats), Clinton (vs. conservative Republicans)

Political Times IV Politics of Disjunction Affiliated with a vulnerable regime Can’t stand up for regime that is no longer popular, also can’t criticize it because it’s his own party Less authority over national debate and tend to be seen as failures John Quincy Adams (prior to Jackson) Hoover (prior to FDR) Carter (prior to Reagan) Cf) What if McCain had won in 2008?

Obama and the “Political Time” Presidency How do you know about regime strength? Resilient vs. vulnerable? Is America still “center-right” country? Has the “Reagan Revolution” ended? Where is the Obama presidency placed? Where does President Obama stand? What is his affiliation with the dominant system? Does Obama belong to the politics of (second-round) preemption or reconstruction? www.270towin.com

The U.S. Constitution Constitutions are all important in all countries. Setting the basic parameters for the political process, safeguarding key rights, and establishing the institutions of government The U.S. Constitution is even more central to American political life, because of its great longevity and the enormous reverence with which it is treated. At the same time, its exceptional age and its brevity mean that the U.S. Constitution is full of idiosyncrasies and silences.
