Textbook

I read this book as part of the required reading for a course on, well, the presidency. It was a very nice supplement to class discussion. By that I mean it discussed in-depth issues of the presidency and in some cases clarified the professor's answers. A great read if you're looking to understand the evolution of the American Presidency and how our political system has changed with it.
