WHY PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH LOCATIONS MATTER ANALYZING SPEECHMAKING FROM TRUMAN TO OBAMA Shannon Bow O’Brien
The Evolving American Presidency Series Editor Michael A. Genovese Loyola Marymount University Los Angeles, CA, USA
This series is stimulated by the clash between the presidency as invented and the presidency as it has developed. Over time, the presidency has evolved and grown in power, expectations, responsibilities, and authority. Adding to the power of the presidency have been wars, crises, depressions, industrialization. The importance and power of the modern presidency makes understanding it so vital. How presidents resolve challenges and paradoxes of high expectations with limited constitutional resources is the central issue in modern governance and the central theme of this book series.
