This book examines the relationship between Congress and the President, and how it has changed over time. It argues that the President has become more powerful in recent decades, and that this has had a number of consequences for American politics.

The Rise of the President

The President has become more powerful in recent decades for a number of reasons. First, the media has become more focused on the President, and this has given the President a larger platform to communicate with the public. Second, the President has been given more power by Congress, such as the power to veto legislation and to issue executive orders. Third, the President has been able to use the courts to expand his power, such as by using the Supreme Court to strike down laws that it finds unconstitutional.

The Consequences of Presidential Power

The rise of the President has had a number of consequences for American politics. First, it has made it more difficult for Congress to pass legislation, as the President can now veto any bill that it does not like. Second, it has made it more difficult for the courts to check the power of the President, as the President can now appoint judges who are likely to rule in his favor. Third, it has made it more difficult for the public to hold the President accountable, as the President can now use the media to control the flow of information.

The Future of Congress and the Presidency

The future of Congress and the Presidency is uncertain. It is possible that the President will continue to grow in power, or that Congress will be able to regain some of its lost power. It is also possible that the courts will play a more active role in checking the power of the President. Only time will tell what the future holds for Congress and the Presidency.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between Congress and the President. It argues that the President has become more powerful in recent decades, and that this has had a number of consequences for American politics. The book concludes by discussing the future of Congress and the Presidency.
