Abstract

This brief piece suggests that, rather than witnesses to presidentialism that are gridlocked (Congress) or bound by certain forms of constitutional interpretation (the Court), the co-equal branches are participants in presidential aggrandizement perhaps because they benefit from it.

Keywords: president, Congress, Supreme Court, constitutional entitlement, presidential administration, capture, gridlock, pluralism
