The President Who Would Not Be King: Executive Power under the Constitution

byMichael W. McConnell

The President Who Would Not Be King is Michael W. McConnell's political study of executive Power under the Constitution. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of political science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
