• Sommario/riassunto: 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 written - and by whom. In this eye-opening book, Andrew Rudalevige examines more than five hundred executive orders from the 1930s to today - as well as more than two hundred others negotiated but never issued - shedding vital new light on the multilateral process of drafting supposedly unilateral directives.
