POl-01 ( two page discussions and two responses latter) Due on Thursday

Jeffrey Tulis, in "The Two Constitutional Presidencies," argues that there is a formal presidency and an informal presidency.  As a result, he states, "many of the dilemmas and frustrations of the modern presidency may be traced to the president's ambiguous constitutional station, a vantage place composed of conflicting elements." 

Comment on Tulis' thesis, with reference to a specific president.
