Abstract
Here is the essence of the presidency, my thesis and an
analysis of Abraham Lincoln. In the search to answer what is the
presidency we can be deluded into believing many illusory characteristics
of the man who occupies the office. What must become
evident is that the man who has reached this exalted position and
wishes to succeed as president must wield power. He can be
successful only if "his choices of objectives, and of timing,
and of instruments, and by his choice of choices to avoid," can
secure him the maximum amount of strength and security. In a
world of intrigue and conflict, the president must be the
complete politician because no matter what his policies are:
whether idealistic, right or wrong; the only means of implementing
them is to be able to command enough power to be able to
coax, bribe, pressure, or coerce the opposition into submission.
