Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. One of the earliest and most consequential presidential decisions in American history was George Washingtons choice to step down after two terms in office, despite the fact that he would almost certainly have won a third term had he chosen to run. The example he intended to setand the circumstances he faced at the timetell a more complicated story of the true motives behind his decision to retire and the impact his decision had on his successors and the nation. In George Washington and the Two-Term Precedent, David A. Yalof examines how this decision set a pattern that would be followed by presidents for more than a century until FDR began serving a third term in 1941.While often portrayed simply as a noble decision by Washington to restrain the power of the executive office, Washingtons decision was in fact motivated by self-interest and a desire to cement a legacy of honor and integrity. Yalof shows that he was never motivated by the desire to reign in the executive with an unwritten two-term limit. If anything, Washington hoped to strengthen the executive branch by demonstrating that the institution of the presidency could be trusted with the power and independence than it had so far received. His voluntary relinquishment of the presidency after two terms in office achieved these goals.Yalof focuses on the two-term precedent and how it came into being not by legal prescription but by the tacit influence of Washingtons refusal to run for a third term and what it suggests about American conceptions of executive power. George Washington and the Two-Term Precedent offers a sober reminder that the countrys most famous and original hero chose to walk away from power, and it was that decision that cemented his greatness in American history. Focuses on the two-term precedent and how it came into being not by legal prescription but by the tacit influence of George Washingtons refusal to run for a third term and what it suggests about American conceptions of executive power.
