The Evolution of the Presidential Office History and its weight

What the Founding Fathers Wanted: "energy in the executive" ,but also dependence on Congress... TR 's comment: except unconstitutional or illegal..

precedence: Two key concepts inherent powers. Historical accident: times and the man

It started with Washington Veto dismissal of executive officials independent foreign policy; chief legislator (Hamilton's reports) commander in chief: (Whiskey Rebellion) executive privilege

Jackson: tribune of the people: the chief executive alone represented the will of the whole nation

Lincoln waging war: the concept of "wartime democracy"

Common good and economics TR President-Reformer Common good and economics "bully pulpit"

FDR regulate the economy federal government: an agent of social and economic reform government and citizen and economic security

The Tradition Continues??? Regan? Clinton? Bush? Obama?
