Chapter 13. The Presidency As noted by Richard Neustadt, presidential power is the power to persuade, not the power to command. Therefore, it is the job of the president to get people to do what they would normally not do. The Presidents The presidency is an institution composed of the president?s job description, the power at his disposal, and the bureaucracy he controls. Within this institution, the president?s personality also makes a difference. Great Expectations: when a new president takes office, his most difficult task is living up to the expectations set by the American people. On the one hand, the American people want a powerful president who uses the office for good ? Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, FRD, JFK?

Chapter 6: The Presidency as an Institution The dual nature of the presidency refers to how the power and role of the president is always changing. On one hand, the president has specific powers laid out in the constitution. On the other hand, the president loses some powers, gains others, and has his role changing. The president has always had the power to make treaties, grant pardons, and nominate the judiciary as well as other public officials. Over time presidents have been able to increase their power by taking control during war or another time of crisis. No the American president is not too powerful. Whenever any president attempts to make a grab for too much power, congress or the Supreme Court can shoot him down. This prevents any president from becoming too powerful.
