Despite the fact that Republicans control two of the three branches of
government following the election of Donald Trump, the relationship
between the president and Capitol Hill continues to be strained.
Underscoring the book’s theme that the executive and legislature
regularly compete and clash—even when controlled by the same
party—already tensions are emerging between President Trump and the
Republican congressional majority around the Affordable Care Act,
infrastructure spending, trade agreements, relations with Russia, and
immigration and refugee policy. Now in its sixth edition, Rivals for
Power: Presidential-Congressional Relations brings together the
knowledge of leading scholars and scholar-practitioners alike to
explain the complex political dynamic between the president and
Congress in new chapters. Contributors analyze the structural,
political, and behavioral factors that shape this relationship, while
showing how and why rivalry has tended to intensify when different
parties control the two branches. Intended for students, scholars,
public officials, and the general public, Rivals for Power offers an
accessible and engaging analysis of executive and legislative rivalry
across a span of eras, with particular attention to developments under
recent presidents, including Trump and Obama. Contributors include
Gary Andres, Ross K. Baker, Sarah Binder, Patrick Griffin, David R.
Jones, Douglas L. Kriner, John Anthony Maltese, James P. Pfiffner,
Jordan Tama, Claudia H. Thurber, and James A. Thurber.
