In fact, Daniel Gitterman tells us, the president effectively is the CEO of an enormous federal bureaucracy. Using the unique legal authority delegated by thousands of laws, the ability to issue executive orders, and the capacity to shape how federal agencies write and enforce rules, the president calls the shots as to how the government is run on a daily basis. Modern presidents have, for example, used the power of the purchaser to require federal contractors to pay a minimum wage and to prohibit contracting with federal contractors that knowingly employ unauthorized alien workers. Presidents and their staffs use specific tools, including executive orders and memoranda to agency heads, as instruments of political control of and influence over the government and the private sector. For more than a century, they have used these tools without violating the separation of powers. Calling the Shots demonstrates how each of these executive powers is a powerful weapon of coercion and redistribution in the president?s political and policymaking arsenal." -- Publisher's description. 606 $aExecutive orders$zUnited States 606 $aExecutive power$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical planning$zUnited States 615 0$aExecutive orders 615 0$aExecutive power 615 0$aPolitical planning 676 $a320.60973 700 $aGitterman$b Daniel Paul$01490205 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792614603321 996 $aCalling the shots$93711443 997 $aUNINA
