The presidency is always too strong when we dislike the incumbent. Its limitations are bemoaned, however, when we believe the incumbent is striving valiantly to serve the public interest as we define it.

Thomas E. Cronin (b. 1940) American political scientist
The State of the Presidency, 2nd ed., ch. 1 (1980)
