Before Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, four of his last five predecessors had been governors. Executive experience at the state level informs individual presidencies, and, as Saladin M. Ambar argues, the actions of governors-turned-presidents changed the nature of the presidency itself long ago. How Governors Built the Modern American Presidency is the first book to explicitly credit governors with making the presidency what it is today.By examining the governorships of such presidential stalwarts as Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, political scientist Ambar shows how gubernatorial experience made the difference in establishing modern presidential practice. The book also delves into the careers of Wisconsin's Bob La Follette and California's Hiram Johnson, demonstrating how these governors reshaped the presidency through their activism. As Ambar reminds readers, governors as far back as Samuel J. Tilden of New York, who ran against Rutherford Hayes in the controversial presidential election of 1876, paved the way for a more assertive national leadership. Ambar explodes the idea that the modern presidency began after 1945, instead placing its origins squarely in the Progressive Era.This innovative study uncovers neglected aspects of the evolution of the nation's executive branch, placing American governors at the heart of what the presidency has become-for better or for worse.PresidentsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryPresidentsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryExecutive powerUnited StatesHistory19th centuryExecutive powerUnited StatesHistory20th centuryGovernorsUnited StatesPowers and dutiesUnited StatesPolitics and government1865-1933Electronic books.PresidentsHistoryPresidentsHistoryExecutive powerHistoryExecutive powerHistoryGovernorsPowers and duties.352.230973Ambar Saladin M976247MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463509003321How governors built the modern American presidency2463066UNINA03031nam 22005773u 450 991078340720332120230617010732.00-253-11026-2(CKB)1000000000243817(EBL)242726(OCoLC)475961909(SSID)ssj0000143833(PQKBManifestationID)11164698(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000143833(PQKBWorkID)10112831(PQKB)11408637(MiAaPQ)EBC242726(EXLCZ)99100000000024381720130418d2004|||| u|| |engtxtccrEconomy, Culture, and Civil War in Sri Lanka[electronic resource]Bloomington, IN Indiana University Press20041 online resource (259 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-253-34420-4 Cover; TOC; Preface; A Note on Pronunciation of Sinhala Words; Acronyms; Map of Sri Lanka; 1.
