The Imperial Presidency is a major non-fiction study by historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. that examines the growth of executive power in the United States, especially in matters of war and foreign policy. First published in 1973, the book became closely associated with the Watergate era because it appeared as Richard Nixon’s presidency was collapsing under revelations of abuse of power. Schlesinger’s central concern is constitutional: he argues that the presidency gradually accumulated authority beyond what the Framers intended, often at the expense of Congress and the separation of powers. Rather than treating this as a sudden rupture, he traces a long historical pattern in which presidents expand their reach during crises and then face partial correction later. The book is both a history of presidential power and a warning about the democratic risks created when emergency authority becomes routine. Its influence comes not only from its historical sweep but also from the phrase it popularized: imperial presidency.
