The Cult-ivation of Executive PowerNelson LundGeorge Mason University School of Law May 30, 2008 Green Bag 2d, Vol. 11, No. 4, pp. 513-519, Summer 2008 George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 08-29 Abstract: This short review of Gene Healy's "The Cult of the Presidency" argues that the powerful modern presidency, for all the perversities it can produce, is not the principal threat to our security or our liberties. The best recent example of the relatively modest presidency envisioned by many of the Constitution's framers, moreover, has been underappreciated by those most worried about executive imperialism.
