The Presidency

- Click here for the wiki.

The most unique thing about the executive branch is that it is headed by one person. Multiple people occupy top offices in the legislative and judicial branches, but the efficiency deemed necessary to implement the law led to the idea that it would be best for one person to be charge of it. This means that the personal peculiarities of the president can have an impact on how the branch operates. This isn't entirely true since the actions of the president can be checked by the other two branches in addition to the members of the bureaucracy. Nevertheless, the reliance on the decision of one person has led to a line of research that analyzes presidential behavior and how they make decisions. This leads to the related question of what makes for good or bad presidents, in addition to great ones or failures. That's by and large the subject here.
