• THIS CHAPTER IS CONCERNED PRIMARILY WITH THE QUESTION WHETHER THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS ENSURES THE STABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT. THE AMERICAN MODEL OF THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS EXAMINED. IT CONCLUDES THAT THE U.S. PRESIDENT IS CONSTRAINED TO BE FAR MORE SOLICITIOUS OF THE WISHES OF THE LEGISLATORS THAN A BRITISH PRIME MINISTER IS. THE PRESIDENT CAN SURVIVE IN OFFICE DESPITE AN ANTAGONISTIC CONGRESS BY HE DOES LITTLE MORE THAN THAT AND CANNOT BE EFFECTIVE OR SUCCESSFUL IN CARRYING OUT HIS POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. THE CHAPTER CONCLUDES THAT THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS OF LITTLE HELP TO HIM. THAT THE PRESIDENT IS IN A WEAK POSITION WITH REGARDS TO CONGRESS.
