This book advances a new theory about what makes chief executives most successful and explores this theory through original data. Thad Kousser and Justin H. Phillips argue that negotiations over the budget, on the one hand, and policy bills on the other are driven by fundamentally different dynamics. They capture these dynamics in models informed by interviews with gubernatorial advisors, cabinet members, press secretaries and governors themselves. Through a series of novel empirical analyses and rich case studies, the authors demonstrate that governors can be powerful actors in the lawmaking process, but that what they're bargaining over - the budget or policy - shapes both how they play the game and how often they can win it. 606 $aGovernors$zUnited States$xPowers and duties 606 $aExecutive power$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aLegislative power$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aVeto$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States$xStates 615 0$aGovernors$xPowers and duties. 615 0$aExecutive power$xStates. 615 0$aLegislative power$xStates. 615 0$aVeto$xStates. 615 0$aPolitical leadership$xStates. 676 $a352.23/52130973 686 $aPOL040000$2bisacsh 700 $aKousser$b Thad$f1974-$01512400 702 $aPhillips$b Justin H$g(Justin Huhtelin), 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779478803321 996 $aThe Power of American governors$93746266 997 $aUNINA
