Rivals for Power Presidential-Congressional Relations

Well-known scholars and practitioners of Congressional-Presidential relations come together to explore both branches of government and what unites as well as divides them. Highlights include chapters on budgetary politic in a time of deep deficit, the impacts of campaign message and election mandates, veto bargaining, and the making of U.S. foreign policy over four decades. Case studies of budget battles, trade wars, and the war in Iraq lend concrete detail to political theory. First hand experience on the Hill and in the Oval Office--and everywhere in between--is reflected in each chapter.Thurber, James A. is the author of 'Rivals for Power Presidential-Congressional Relations' with ISBN 9780742536821 and ISBN 0742536823.
