Download or read book With the Stroke of a Pen written by Kenneth Mayer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2002-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional wisdom holds that the president of the United States is weak, hobbled by the separation of powers and the short reach of his formal legal authority. In this first-ever in-depth study of executive orders, Kenneth Mayer deals a strong blow to this view. Taking civil rights and foreign policy as examples, he shows how presidents have used a key tool of executive power to wield their inherent legal authority and pursue policy without congressional interference. Throughout the nation's life, executive orders have allowed presidents to make momentous, unilateral policy choices: creating and abolishing executive branch agencies, reorganizing administrative and regulatory processes, handling emergencies, and determining how legislation is implemented. From the Louisiana Purchase to the Emancipation Proclamation, from Franklin Roosevelt's establishment of the Executive Office of the President to Bill Clinton's authorization of loan guarantees for Mexico, from Harry Truman's integration of the armed forces to Ronald Reagan's seizures of regulatory control, American presidents have used executive orders (or their equivalents) to legislate in ways that extend far beyond administrative activity. By analyzing the pattern of presidents' use of executive orders and the relationship of those orders to the presidency as an institution, Mayer describes an office much more powerful and active than the one depicted in the bulk of the political science literature. This distinguished work of scholarship shows that the U.S. presidency has a great deal more than the oft-cited "power to persuade."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1785, Thomas Jefferson published his first book, Notes on the State of Virginia. In doing so, Jefferson appeared to have started a trend as more than half of the U.S. presidents since have published at least one book. Some of them were better at writing books than others. One Chief Executive went on to write forty volumes. Another earned a Pulitzer Prize for Biography. The motivations behind the publication of presidential works were varied. Some wrote to establish their credentials for the Presidency. Others wrote to make money. The topics are as varied as the motivations. They range from memoirs, to history books, to art works, and business tips.The Presidents Pen examines the writings of sixteen Presidents of the United States, providing the reader with stories and anecdotes in an easy to understand format.

Download or read book American Presidents written by David Levine and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a half century, David Levine has taken on the most powerful men of the free world with only his pen and a bottle of India ink. That pen has proved to be mightier than the sword as Levine skewered, illuminated, satirized and condemned every president of the 20th century, as well as the most significant presidents from colonial times and the Civil War era. His drawing of Lyndon Johnson revealing a scar in the shape of Vietnam is considered one of the most recognized (and most copied) of the Vietnam era. His devastating wit and delicately cross hatched drawing have exposed the venality of the Nixon administration, the phoniness of the Reagan years, the duplicity of the Clinton era, and the evil of the Bush cabal. Nine administrations have come and gone during Levine's tenure, and with a new one on the horizon, the artist remains, unbowed, unfazed, and unrelenting. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.9px Arial; color: #424242}

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Acrostical Pen Portraits of the Eighteen Presidents of the United States: Biographical, Historical, Descriptive and Eulogistic; Intended for the General Reader, Schools, Academies, Colleges, Public and Private Libraries, Preeminently Suitable for Declamation on the Stage, Lyceum, Young Men's Literary Societies, Clubs, Literary The preparation of these sketches was first undertaken solely for pastime and mental recreation, without any view to their publication. After a number of the acrostics had been written, it was my pleasure to read them, on various occasions, to several literary friends for mutual amusement; each, in turn, suggested their publication. After repeated and urgent solicitations on their part, I determined to submit them to the test of impartial, and in all other respects qualified criticism, thinking that the result of this course would preclude their publication. On the contrary, however, the opposite course was recommended, and, accordingly, I now humbly offer them to the public for their perusal. If I shall succeed in instructing a single person, or of interesting any in the history of their country, much more, of pleasing any considerable portion of the world of readers, I shall be more than gratified. I am indebted to the following authors, whose pages I consulted in selecting material in the preparing of these sketches: Portrait Gallery of Eminent Men of the United States, Guernsey's United States, Bartlett's Life Of Lincoln, Headley's Life of Grant, Barret's Life of Lincoln. It is not all poetry that is found in books, nor is all the poetry found in books all the poetry extant: far from it. There is a poetry of life, a poetry of art, a poetry of nature. Hoping that the reader may find some poetry at least, in the Pen Portraits, and more of nature and less of art, I respectfully invite your attention to the Introduction.

Download or read book Take Up Your Pen written by Graham G. Dodds and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Executive orders and proclamations afford presidents an independent means of controlling a wide range of activities in the federal government—yet they are not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. In fact, the controversial edicts known as universal presidential directives seem to violate the separation of powers by enabling the commander-in-chief to bypass Congress and enact his own policy preferences. As Clinton White House counsel Paul Begala remarked on the numerous executive orders signed by the president during his second term: "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." Although public awareness of unilateral presidential directives has been growing over the last decade—sparked in part by Barack Obama's use of executive orders and presidential memoranda to reverse many of his predecessor's policies as well as by the number of unilateral directives George W. Bush promulgated for the "War on Terror"—Graham G. Dodds reminds us that not only has every single president issued executive orders, such orders have figured in many of the most significant episodes in American political history. In Take Up Your Pen, Dodds offers one of the first historical treatments of this executive prerogative and explores the source of this authority; how executive orders were legitimized, accepted, and routinized; and what impact presidential directives have had on our understanding of the presidency, American politics, and political development. By tracing the rise of a more activist central government—first advanced in the Progressive Era by Theodore Roosevelt—Dodds illustrates the growing use of these directives throughout a succession of presidencies. More important, Take Up Your Pen questions how unilateral presidential directives fit the conception of democracy and the needs of American citizens.
