Insecure Presidents
This paper illustrates how presidents who lose the popular vote but win the Electoral College establish legitimacy.

Presidential Politics on Tour
This article uses a study of presidential touring to advance an alternative view that nineteenth-century presidents embraced opportunities provided by exogenous forces to develop and maintain a relationship with the public. This argument stands in contrast to traditional accounts that the president was bounded by norms and ideas of proper behavior. Instead, I posit that presidents were much more responsive to evolving opportunities to participate…
