William G. Howell examines the expansion of presidential authority through unilateral actions, challenging the traditional view that presidents must rely on persuasion to achieve their policy goals. By analyzing the strategic use of executive orders, proclamations, and national security directives, the author demonstrates how modern presidents bypass legislative gridlock to unilaterally shape domestic and foreign policy outcomes.
