Title: The Cult of the Presidency by Gene Healy Post by: Free Palestine on October 27, 2009, 06:11:04 PM I just finished the book. It's about the evolution of the presidency over the years. How a chief magistrate charged with proper execution of the law became the leader of the free world. It's a very interesting read, and I highly recommend it.
Has anybody else read it? Title: Re: The Cult of the Presidency by Gene Healy Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on October 27, 2009, 06:16:38 PM No, but it does sound interesting.

However, I'd like to say that, compared to the French one, the American President has not so much powers.

However, I'd like to say that, compared to the French one, the American President has not so much powers. There are very few leaders in the First World with as much power as the President of France.
