Review:

"Presents a set of issues, themes, questions, and arguments that will continue to be of fundamental interest to constitutional scholars in particular and political scientists in general." - George C. Edwards III, author of Presidential Leadership "An extremely worthwhile book, adaptable to a variety of courses." - Jeffrey K. Tulis, author of The Rhetorical Presidency "The preeminent treatise on the separation of powers, Fisher's book is constitutional scholarship at its best.... Ought to be required reading for the President, for every member of Congress, and for anyone who seeks to understand the subtle complexities of a constitutional arrangement that formally separates legislative from executive powers." Choice "This book gets better with every edition. I have used it in my classes for years and will continue to do so." Mark J. Rozell, author of Executive Privilege and Power and Prudence: The Incremental Presidency of George H. W. Bush"
