Veto Rhetoric

A Leadership Strategy for Divided Government

About this book

While veto threats have a long history, presidents have come to be more reliant on this bargaining tool in the last few decades.Ā Veto RhetoricĀ therefore serves as a nice companion to Sam Kernell?s classic study,Ā Going Public, which documented a similar trend with regards to presidential public appeals. Kernell?s current study will no doubt once again lead presidential scholars to rethink how they understand and conceptualizing presidential-congressional relations.
- Joel Sievert, Texas Tech University

InĀ Veto Rhetoric,Ā Samuel Kernell offers a fresh, more sanguine perspective to understanding national policy making in this era of divided government. Contrary to the standard "separation of powers" representation of the veto which deals presidents a weak "take it or leave it" hand, Kernell shows that veto rhetoric forces Congress to pay careful heed of the president's objections early in deliberations as legislation is forming. Moreover, the book introduces original statistical analysis to test the argument and extends previously reported analyses to include the Biden presidency.Ā Veto RhetoricĀ will change the way students of Congress and the presidency assess their respective roles in making national policy.
