The study of the presidencyâthe power of the office, the evolution of the executive as an institution, the men who have servedâhas generated a great body of research and scholarship. What better way to get students to grapple with the ideas of the literature than through conflicting perspectives on some of the most pivotal issues facing the modern presidency? Richard Ellis and Michael Nelson have once again assembled a cadre of top scholars to offer a series of pro/con essays that will inspire spirited debate beyond the pages of the book. Each essayâwritten in the form of a debate resolutionâ offers a compelling yet concise view on the American executive.
