By Executive Order: Bureaucratic Management and the Limits of Presidential Power

English

By (author): Andrew Rudalevige

How the executive branchnot the president aloneformulates executive orders, and how this process constrains the chief executive's ability to act unilaterally

The president of the United States is commonly thought to wield extraordinary personal power through the issuance of executive orders. In fact, the vast majority of such orders are proposed by federal agencies and shaped by negotiations that span the executive branch. By Executive Order provides the first comprehensive look at how presidential directives are writtenand by whom.

In this eye-opening book, Andrew Rudalevige examines more than five hundred executive orders from the 1930s to todayas well as more than two hundred others negotiated but never issuedshedding vital new light on the multilateral process of drafting supposedly unilateral directives. He draws on a wealth of archival evidence from the Office of Management and Budget and presidential libraries as well as original interviews to show how the crafting of orders requires widespread consultation and compromise with a formidable bureaucracy. Rudalevige explains the key role of management in the presidential skill set, detailing how bureaucratic resistance can stall and even prevent actions the chief executive desires, and how presidents must bargain with the bureaucracy even when they seek to act unilaterally.

Challenging popular conceptions about the scope of presidential power, By Executive Order reveals how the executive branch holds the power to both enact and constrain the presidents will.
