The second of a three-volume set (identified, misleadingly, as a series by CQ and Library of Congress); the other two volumes are reported to deal with Congress and with the Supreme Court. The longer entries explain the broad concepts relating to the presidency, e.g. Constitutional powers, the budget process, the cabinet; shorter entries define vocabulary, procedures, and precedents. Photos accompany the biographical entries. Cross-referenced and thoroughly indexed. Appendixes include data on the presidents and vice presidents, elections, cabinets, and government structure; the US Constitution; and a bibliography (not classified).
