Richard J. Ellis is the Mark O. Hatfield Chair in Politics at Willamette University.
The author has done an excellent job of conveying the fact that
there was a real debate over the presidency specifically and the
Constitution in general in which reasonable arguments could be
found on both sides. Few texts accomplish this feat.
