Summary:

Presidential Relations with Congress provides a succinct analysis of contemporary presidential-congressional relations in the post-World War II era. Richard S. Conley underscores what scholars have learned about presidents' interactions with Congress over time, the factors that account for success, and the methodologies that can measure success. He presents case studies of individual presidents' approaches, including agenda success, veto politics, and Supreme Court nominations, and emphasizes the changing nature of internal dynamics in Congress, as well us the importance of party control of both the White House and Capitol Hill. This book provides students, scholars, and observers of presidential politics with an accessible and readable tool for analyzing and evaluating presidents' varied styles, successes, and failures in their relationships with Congress.
