Hear from John Kenneth White, political scientist, presidential scholar, and author of numerous books on American politics and government, as he explores the changing nature of the U.S. presidency. Examine how the framers intentionally left the office open to interpretation and how presidential authority expanded over time. Discover how presidents acquire and exercise power, how the executive branch came to dominate national politics, and how the rise of the administrative state has transformed the balance of government envisioned by the Constitution. Osher Online is the facilitator of this exclusive Zoom course.
