Today that authority resides in the hands of one man, Donald J. Trump. But rarely if ever has the nature of a president clashed more profoundly with the nature of the office. \u003ci\u003eUnmaking the Presidency\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of the confrontation between a person and the institution he almost wholly embodies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the moment of his inauguration, Trump has challenged our deepest expectations of the presidency. But what are those expectations, where did they come from, and how great is the damage? As editors of the \"invaluable\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003ci\u003eLawfare\u003c\/i\u003e website, Susan Hennessey and Benjamin Wittes have attracted a large audience to their hard-hitting and highly informed commentary on the controversies surrounding the Trump administration. In this book, they situate Trump-era scandals and outrages in the deeper context of the presidency itself. How should we understand the oath of office when it is taken by a man who may not know what it means to preserve, protect, and defend something other than himself? What aspects of Trump are radically different from past presidents and what aspects have historical antecedents? When has he simply built on his predecessors' misdeeds, and when has he invented categories of misrule entirely his own? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy setting Trump in the light of history, Hennessey and Wittes provide a crucial and durable account of a presidency like no other.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Hennessey\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eBenjamin Wittes\u003c\/b\u003e are executive editor and editor in chief of \u003ci\u003eLawfare\u003c\/i\u003e.
