The American presidency

Short Review: This is the 10th book from the Very Short Introduction series. And while several of them have been quite bad, more have been helpful than not. This is one of the better ones. It is a quick introduction to the office of president, its history and change over time and the limitations of the office, both those that are constitutional and the real limitations based on the size of the government and political realities.

I picked up the American Constitution: A biography when I finished and have been enjoying the fuller treatment of the subject. (On sale as I am posting for $1.99 - http://amzn.to/2qSDwFY )

The Very short introduction series is all lendable on kindle. So if you want to borrow this one or one of the others ones that I have read let me know.
