I hate seeing this book even more

[breeanna :) · Rating 3 out of 5]

read this book for my major course on the American presidency and it is the only textbook i've ever been able to read fully and enjoy somewhat! the writing is simple and not overly convoluted like how political scientists tend to write, which made it very easy to understand and follow. the textbook was very well put together and the chapters built off one another and it made me look forward to reading further (which has never happened before). a decent, 3.5 read.

[Jacob Stroman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was exhaustively researched, and rightfully so. It brings a much better understanding of how the office functions, why certain administrations succeed or fail, and some of the layers of economic policy, foreign and domestic.

Super entertaining, I found something interesting on every page. An absolute requirement for anyone interested in the president or politics.

PLS 305: Congress & the Presidency

At the end of the day, the President is the symbol of America, and it is up to us whether or not that tradition continues and whether or not we elect somebody whom we would like to actually represent America, unlike those three men on the cover.

Detailed account of different situations and power usage of president and makes sense of why and how things work from the white house.
