"Air midterm"
For a week from Monday, read Lowi, ch. 7
What the real Oval Office looks like
Tocqueville 127: "In America the President cannot prevent the making of laws; he cannot escape his obligation to execute them." IS THAT STATEMENT STILL TRUE?
Legislative presidency
- Vetoes
- Federalist 73"But the convention have pursued a mean in this business, which will both facilitate the exercise of the power vested in this respect in the executive magistrate, and make its efficacy to depend on the sense of a considerable part of the legislative body. Instead of an absolute negative, it is proposed to give the Executive the qualified negative already described. This is a power which would be much more readily exercised than the other."
Congress checking the president: NAIL:
- Nominations
- Appropriations
- Investigations/Impeachment
- Legislation
