Recenzii

"Beautifully written and utterly transparent, Take Up Your Pen illuminates a vitally important aspect of presidential power-namely, the capacity of presidents to bypass the legislative process and set public policy via their own executive orders. These powers have been exercised since the very beginning of the nation's history, but as Dodds shows us, they have recently gained new urgency."-William G. Howell, University of Chicago
