    The highly controversial book by Michael Wolff highlights the current Trump administrations processes, from the beginning of his campaign, through the transitory period, and well into the first year of Mr. Trump's presidency.

  • Similarities Between Congress And The President

    920 Words  | 4 Pages

    Congress and the President share a set of goals that are extremely similar. Both seek to produce public policy and maintain their electoral constituencies, so they often behave in anticipation of what they expect the other to do. One can characterize their strategies as a game-theoretic model in which Congress and the President take turns exercising partial agenda control and typically arrive at policy that is acceptable to both sides. The President has a powerful advantage in this model because his or her sources of power impart an increased ability to persuade others through: vantage points in government, veto bargaining, and the power to set the agenda. Just as they do in the real world, these tools allow the simulated President to influence
