Поредица "The New American Library". * THE POWERS AND LIMITS OF THE PRESIDENCY...THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE MEN WHO HAVE HELD THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE DNITED STATES Here is a revised and expanded edition of Clinton Rossiter's fascinating study of the American Presidency which traces its development from the time when there were thirteen states to the present position of the United States as a leading world power. Mr. Rossiter has included new material on the process of impeachment and the President's responsibility in the field of science; a reassessment of our "machinery" for electing a President; a new chapter on the problems of Presidential disability, succession, and tenure; and a thorough evaluation of the Eisenhower administration. CLINTON ROSSITER is John L. Senior Professor of American Institutions at Cornell University. He is the author of The Supreme Court and the Commander in Chief, Constitutional Dictatorship, Conservatism in America, and Seedtime of the Republic, for which he received the Bancroft Prize and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award. He has been a consultant to the Ford and the Rockefeller Foundations and is general editor of the series of books on "Communism in American Life" sponsored by the Fund for the Republic. His latest book, Parties and Politics in America, was published in 1960. * Contents PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION 7 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION 9 1. THE POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY 13 2.
