After the Imperial Presidency: New Yotk Times Magazine

This article appeared in today's New York Times Magazine. The author discusses the role of Congress and the president through interviews with longtime senators. He focuses more or less on the terms of Bush Sr. through the present. The most interesting part of the article for me was on the last two pages or so where he discusses how the Obama administration will treat its executive authority. I think the title is a little misleading, as the author cannot (and does not) draw firm conclusions on the next administrations and the power of the presidency. Overall a pretty interesting read.
