Review Quotes: "Ken Gormley has connected the Constitutional dots brilliantly, demonstrating the immense concentration of power in the chief executive and the different, often contradictory, ways it has been used or misused. The book is a class in Constitutional Law all by itself. In several crucial ways this is what the 2016 race for the White House was about--who has precisely what power, who shares it, how is it going to be exercised, and what, if any, are its limits."--Bob Woodward, Associate Editor, the Washington Post
