Book Synopsis
Addresses the fundamental question of what role discretionary executive power should play in a constitutional order, reexamining what has become an intractable debate to show that what can destroy our Constitution also has the potential to save it.

Trade Review
A distinguished study of executive power that is wise, practical, and constitutionally sound. Harvey Mansfield, author of Taming the Prince: The Ambivalence of Modern Executive Power ""There is no one - lawyer, political scientist, historian, or concerned citizen - who will not learn a great deal from and not be challenged by Kleinerman's well-written and heartfelt arguments."" Sanford Levinson, author of Our Undemocratic Constitution ""It is hard to believe that anyone writing today has something genuinely new and important to say about the classic tension between law and executive power, but Ben Kleinerman does. This book is ambitious, lucid, probing, and wise."" Jeffrey Tulis, author of The Rhetorical Presidency
