Eisenhower Presidential Library Store
Charting the presidency as it evolved during the administrations of Washington, Adams, and Jefferson, Raphael shows how, given the Constitution’s broad outlines, the president’s powers could easily be augmented but rarely diminished. Today we see the result—an office that has become more sweeping, more powerful, and more inherently partisan than the framers ever intended.
And the issues of 1787—whether the Electoral College, the president’s war powers, or the extent of executive authority—continue to stir our political debates. Softcover, 324 pages. Your purchase supports the education and exhibit programs of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum.
