The Legislative Presidency
註釋This volume is an examination of the formulation, coordination, and implementation of legislative policy by the United States President. Describing what these mechanisms and processes are and how they work is a major task of this book -- analyzing their effect on the governmental structure in general and the presidency in particular is another important concern. This text provides a point from which to observe the development of the president's responsibilities and powers, explores the White House staff structure, focusing primarily on the relationship between the president and his aides, examines the clearance and coordination functions in the executive branch, paying particular attention to the role and operation of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and its interaction with the White House staff. The development of an annual legislative programming process and the growth of a White House policy staff is discussed and this book also details the organization and operation of the president's congressional liaison office. It goes on to look at the implementation of legislative policy, examining some of the ways in which recent presidents and their staffs have sought to increase their influence over how policy is executed.
