Since the Constitution delegates presidential powers in general rather than specific terms, the domestic influence of the president has increased over time, often varying greatly depending on the nature of the person holding the office. From George Washington to George W. Bush, this volume takes an in-depth look at the domestic programs of Americas 43 presidents. Written from a non-partisan viewpoint, each chapter focuses on a single presidency, providing information, analysis, interpretation and commentary regarding the domestic facet of each Chief Executive.
