PS361 The American Presidency
This course explores the evolution of the Office of the Presidency over the course of U.S. history. Presidential power, as it has been exercised and as it has variously expanded and contracted over time, will be reviewed, discussed, and appraised. Individual Presidents will be studied for the purpose of evaluating their leadership capacities, most critical challenges and decisions, and degree of success or failure in achieving their political and policy objectives.
