Paperback. Condition: New. Examining how the White House worksor doesn'tbefore and after TrumpDonald Trump has reinvented the presidency, transforming it from a well-oiled if sometimes cumbersome institution into what has often seemed to be a one-man show. But even Trump's unorthodox presidency requires institutional support, fr…om a constantly rotating White House staff and cabinet who have sought to carry outand sometimes resistthe president's direct orders and comply with his many tweets.Nonetheless, the Trump White House still exhibits many features of its predecessors over the past eight decades. When Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated, the White House staff numbered fewer than fifty people, and most federal department were lightly staffed as well. As the United States became a world power, the staff of the Executive Office increased twentyfold, and the staffing of federal agencies blossomed comparably.In the fourth edition of Organizing the Presidency, a landmark volume examining the presidency as an institution, Stephen Hess and James P. Pfiffner argue that the successes and failures of presidents from Roosevelt through Trump have resulted in large part from how the president deployed and used White House staffers and other top officials responsible for carrying out Oval Office policy. Drawing on a wealth of analysis and insight, Organizing the Presidency addresses best practices for managing a presidency that is itself a bureaucracy.

Contact seller5-star sellerThird edition of this examination of the changing responsibilities of the executive branch jobs and their relationships with one another, from the time of Roosevelt to George W. Bush. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, "For Kiki & Marty - With love… & esteem, Steve, 10/30/02, Washington." Stephen Hess was a cousin of Ruth, and her family nickname was "Kiki" because she was a "kicky baby" as a child. American lawyer and jurist, Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White, Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court, after Sandra Day OâConnor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and womenâs rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court, Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed âthe Notorious R.B.G.â, a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination, voting rights, and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia (1996) which struck down the Virginia Military Instituteâs male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Olmstead v. L.C. (1999) in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000) in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. Stephen Hess is a distinguished American political scientist, journalist, and author known for his expertise in government, media, and public policy.

His extensive career includes roles as an adviser to multiple U.S. presidents and as a researcher on the relationship between politics and journalism. Hess has authored numerous books, including The Washington Reporters and Organizing the Presidency, which provide critical insights into the workings of government and media influence. His scholarship is widely recognized for its balanced analysis and contribution to understanding political communication and governance in the United States.
