Pitiful Giants : Presidents in Their Final Terms PDF
by D. Franklin
Part of the The Evolving American Presidency series
Description
Since ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951, five American presidents-Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Obama-have been elected to serve a second term.
Presumably, by virtue of their term-limited status, these presidents are free from electoral pressure to pursue policies in the public interest, but this is a questionable assumption.
Second term presidents face a host of structural obstacles that make it difficult for them to carry out their tasks.
How then do presidents lead through these politically-complex circumstances?
How can presidents make the most of their second-tem "mandates" while battling against waning political power?
This book seeks to answer the complex-and often paradoxical-challenges presidents encounter in their lame duck years.
