Cato offers free version of 'Cult of the Presidency'

For a limited time, the Cato Institute is offering a free e-book version of "The Cult of the Presidency: America's Dangerous Devotion to Executive Power," written by Gene Healy, vice president of the Cato Institute.

According to a summary of the book, "Americans have increasingly expanded presidential power over recent decades by expecting the president to provide solutions for all national problems, prosperity for all, and protection from harm. Healy demonstrates how the president’s role needs to return to its properly defined constitutional limits, with its powers held in check by Congress and the courts."
