Aprašymas

Concise yet comprehensive, The American Vice Presidency is the fullest and most accurate examination of the office of the vice president to date, covering the origins and constitutional roots of the institution, its history, and the slow transformation of the office starting in the mid-twentieth century. Jody Baumgartner, an expert in vice presidential history, highlights major changes in vice presidential selection as well as the new and various roles that vice presidents are being asked to play in their administrations. The book devotes entire chapters to the increasingly substantive Vice Presidencies of Gore, Cheney, and Biden, respectively, and both informs and spurs the debate surrounding what form and role the Vice Presidency will take on moving forward.
