Ackerman Points To A Series Of Developments That Have Previously Been Treated Independently Of One Anotherfrom The Rise Of Presidential Primaries, To The Role Of Pollsters And Media Gurus, To The Centralization Of Power In White House Czars, To The Politicization Of The Military, To The Manipulation Of Constitutional Doctrine To Justify Presidential Powergrabs. He Shows How These Different Transformations Can Interact To Generate Profound Constitutional Crises In The Twentyfirst Centuryand Then Proposes A Series Of Reforms That Will Minimize, If Not Eliminate, The Risks Going Forward.The Book Aims To Begin A New Constitutional Debate.
