Bringing together presidential research and social policy research this book examines six issues that continually evade compromise and resolution --abortion, pornography, gun control, affirmative action, homosexuality and the environment-- as they have been addressed by modern-day presidents. The book is designed to show readers the impact of social policies and how presidents respond to social issues and subsequently build their agendas. This book examines the president's roles as opinion/party leader, legislative leader, chief execute, commander in Chief and Chief Diplomat as each relates to social issues. For individuals interested in the American presidency and public policy.
