Perhaps no institution of the American government has attracted as much attention as the presidency. Historians examine how the office has changed, and attempt to evaluate the contributions of individual presidents. Political scientists consider the institutional role of the chief executive, and how it interacts with bodies such as the Congress and the Supreme Court. Students of communications theory explore the rhetorical function of the presidency. This seminar explores the role that Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt had in developing the American presidency. John Moser is an associate professor of history at Ashland University.
