For them, what it meant in 1787 was the creation of a largely unilateral presidency, and in their view, a unilateral presidency still best serves our national interest. Democracy's Chief Executive challenges each of these premises, while showing how their influence on constitutional interpretation for more than forty years has set the stage for a presidency ripe for authoritarianism. Democracy's Chief Executive explains how dogmatic ideas about expansive executive authority can create within the government a psychology of presidential entitlement that threatens American democracy and the rule of law. Tracing today's aggressive presidentialism to a steady consolidation of White House power aided primarily by right-wing lawyers and judges since 1981, Peter M. Shane argues that this is a dangerously authoritarian form of constitutional interpretation that is not even well supported by an originalist perspective. Offering instead a fresh approach to balancing presidential powers, Shane develops an interpretative model of adaptive constitutionalism, rooted in the values of deliberative democracy. Democracy's Chief Executive demonstrates that justifying outcomes explicitly based on core democratic values is more, not less, constraining for judicial decision making--and presents a model that Americans across the political spectrum should embrace"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Presidents $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Executive power $z United States. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States. 650 0 $a Constitutional history $z United States. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 6 $a Pouvoir executif $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Histoire constitutionnelle $z Etats-Unis. 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement. 650 7 $a Constitutional history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875777 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Executive power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917857 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Presidents $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075778 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a LAW / General. $2 bisacsh 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shane, Peter M. $t Democracy's chief executive $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2022] $z 9780520380912 $w (DLC) 2021047027 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230418012510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7790FA7CDDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
