Presidential Policymaking: An End-Of-century Assessment
The Clinton Legacy
The Precedence of Power: Determining Who Should Authorize Military Force
The War Powers Resolution (WPR) has been incapable of resolving the constitutional question over whether the president or Congress should authorize the use of military force. The primary reason why this impasse has remained unresolved is that the debate has been framed in the context of exclusive constitutional prerogative. Wl'R offers no solution, nor the basis for a potential breakthrough. The fact that both branches have strong positions regar…

Jimmy Carter, Public Policy, and the Public Interest
By most assessments, Jimmy Carter's presidency was a failure. The popular image of Carter is that of a president who was politically naive, an inept manager, a well-meaning but nettlesome scold, and an unsuccessful leader. According to two recent scholarly evaluations, Carter was an ineffective leader who ranks in the bottom quintile of the thirty-nine presidents who have preceded George Bush
The Presidency Since Mid-Century
Many scholars and observers claim that the presidential office and the political environment in which presidents operate have been transformed in the second half of the twentieth century. The starting point for examining these claims is Richard Neustadt's classic assessment of the presidency at mid-century. Of particular interest are discussions of the presidency's intensified relationship with the public, the so-called "postmodern" presidency, a…
Cycling through American Politics
The great problem in American politics," E. E. Schattschneider writes, "is: What makes things happen? ... What is the process of change? What does change look like?" Schattschneider offered a theory of political conflict in answer to his question, but the more common response is some variant on the idea of cycles-of regular rhythms or recurring patterns-whose dynamic is the key to unlocking the mysteries of change in American politics. This artic…
The President as Institution Builder: The Reagan Case
Every president bestows upon his successors a “legacy” that will have an impact on both policy issues and institutional operations. Although attention is commonly focused on the president's role as a policymaker, he serves as an institution builder, as well, leaving a legacy that is manifested in long‐term developments, in technical details of managing the job, and in patterns of interaction with other actors in the political environment. Reagan'…
Reagan and Jackson: Parallels in Political Time
There is widespread agreement among scholars that Franklin D. Roosevelt created the modern presidency, and he serves as their paradigm of successful presidential leadership. James MacGregor Burns, Richard Neustadt, Clinton Rossiter, and others who took their cues from them found in FDR the ideal heroic president. He combined extensive and sustained popularity, partisan support, skillful power-sensitive bargaining and persuasion, adept use of the …

Policy Formulation for Education: The Johnson Administration
T his paper views the formulation of national education policy from a systems perspective. A policy system is a process whereby inputs, i.e., demands and support, from organized interests, concerned individuals, and the mass public are converted into policy outputs and ultimately fed back in the form of new inputs. The conversion process, the making of national policy, is the basic activity of the policy system. The educational policy system cons…

The Presidency and Policy Formulation: The Task Force Device
EVERY MODERN PRESIDENT since Franklin D. Roosevelt has made important contributions to the presidency. This article concerns an innovation in the process of formulating presidential legislative programs in domestic policy areas-the systematic use of White House task forces. After an initial venture by John F. Kennedy, the task force device was extensively used by President Lyndon B. Johnson; it seems likely to be continued in some form by Richard…
