| Summary | "Presidential Problems" by Grover Cleveland is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book presents Cleveland's insights and experiences as a former President of the United States, particularly focusing on the tensions between the executive and legislative branches and the challenges he faced during his administration. The topics range from the independence of the executive office to significant governmental events, offering a personal account of historical incidents that shaped the nation. The opening of the book introduces the context in which these essays were written, emphasizing Cleveland's view on the importance of understanding past governmental relations and the integrity of the President's role. He reflects on the origins of the presidency, beginning with the founding principles that led to the establishment of the executive branch. Cleveland then discusses the necessity of granting the President certain powers to ensure a functional government, along with highlighting his belief in the preservation of constitutional authority against legislative encroachment. This sets the tone for the subsequent essays that delve into specific historical controversies and executive decisions made during his tenure. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
