Mr. President: How and Why the Founders Created a Chief Executive by Ray Raphael

5.0

I liked the narrative parts of this book that take readers inside the action of the framers' development of executive power in the U.S.A. The author lets us see where the lofty ideals of independent governance intersect the economic and political realities of the day. This book is a must-read to understand how we got the kind of executive branch that we did.
