  • "The Bush years justifiably gave rise to fears of a new imperial presidency. Yet despite the controversy surrounding the administration's expansive claims of executive power, both Left and Right agree on the boundless nature of presidential responsibility. The imperial presidency is the price we seem to be willingly and dangerously agreeable to pay in order to make the office the focus of our national hopes and dreams. Interweaving historical scholarship, legal analysis, and cultural commentary, author Healy argues that the Presidency needs to be reined in, its powers checked and supervised, and its wartime authority put back under the oversight of the Congress and the courts. Only then will we begin to return the Presidency to its proper, constitutionally limited role.--From publisher description."
