Abstract

This paper examines presidential achievement and, in particular, the conditions under which a president's political strength shapes presidential successes and failures. Employing a data set of 90 presidential initiatives we provide a preliminary assessment of the relationships between the economy, the president's timing and public support, the congressional context, the type of policy chosen by the president and his probability of being a successful policymaker. The findings suggest that the capital generated by strong public support and the timing of a president's policy activities are key in shaping the eventual success or failure of his initiatives. We conclude by carefully noting this work's limitations and offering additional research directions that we intend to pursue. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
