Publisher's Note
The essays in Ryan's work explore how presidents have used their addresses to empower themselves in office. The volume's construct holds that the president delivers persuasive speeches to move the Congress and the people, and to move the people to move the Congress if the latter is intransigent. Since scholars agree that the rhetorical presidency arose in the twentieth century with Theodore Roosevelt, the book commences with Roosevelt's address, followed by all subsequent presidents' inaugurals--including that of Bill Clinton.

Industry Reviews
Twenty-four essays explore how the 20th-century presidents -- from Theodore Roosevelt to Bill Clinton -- have used their addresses to empower themselves in office. The volume's premise is that the president delivers persuasive speeches to move the Congress and the people, and to move the people to move the Congress if it is intransigent. Even on Inauguration Day, a largely ceremonial occasion, the president seeks acquiescence and action from Congress and the people in his first rhetorical act as chief executive.
