The Lost Soul of the American Presidency
Presidential Party Fundraising in Hopes of Not Having to Govern by Himself
The extent to which presidents embrace the role of electoral leader of their party is important but relatively understudied. Each of the past three presidents devoted substantial time to the role of chief party fundraiser during his first 2 years in office, hoping to avoid having to govern by himself in the final 2 years of his first term. Key institutional and contextual factors drive these dynamics. Presidents are incentivized to spend time fun…

Breaking Through the Noise
The Politics of Ego
Many scholars have studied elected officials’ presentation of self, typically through examination of behavior in their districts, speeches, and web sites. In this paper, the authors examine a little-studied but telling element of U.S. senators’ presentation of self - the images they display to constituents and others visiting their offices in Washington, D.C. We analyze both the total amount of items displayed as well as the number that focus on …
Polls and Elections
While much research on political fundraising is based on data from the Federal Election Commission that detail contributions to candidates, political parties, and political action groups, this study examines the other side of the coin—what do presidents do in search of political funds, and how does this relate to other presidential activities? The author systematically analyzes the frequency and geography of presidential fundraising travel from 1…
Potus on the Road
As a president's time is perhaps his scarcest resource, the strategic choices that determine its allocation are some of the most significant that a president and his aides will make. When and where a president chooses to travel, and what he does while he is there, can reveal a great deal about his priorities. This essay analyzes patterns of both international and domestic travel over the past five presidential administrations in order to provide …
Meeting the Challenges of Senate Leadership
Political scientists have long acknowledged the substantial challenges of and obstacles to effective majority leadership in the Senate. As each individual senator, regardless of rank or party affiliation, has the right to object to unanimous consent agreements that govern much of the Senate's business, to offer non-germane amendments to pending legislation, and to engage in extended debate that can only be halted by mustering 60 votes to invoke c…
Elections
This article undertakes an empirical assessment of a key element of the permanent campaign for the presidency by systematically examining presidential travel from 1977 through 2004. I find that presidential travel does target large, competitive states, and that such strategic targeting has increased over time, supporting the notion that the permanent campaign is on the rise. However, substantial differences between reelection and other years, as …
