Summary:

"Fisher argues, too much power has shifted to one of Pennsylvania Avenue-but much of the blame lies at the other end."-Perspectives on Politics "Rife with constitutional history highlighting the original design and the adoration of executive power by scholars and judicial sanctioning of independent executive vigor over developmental time, to scrutinizing major presidential war decisions, this book is a significant new addition to constitutional theory."--Law and Politics Book Review.
