Der Präsident in den USA – Zwischen Führungsanspruch und Machtbegrenzung

Handbuch Politik USA

  • 127 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Dass der Präsident die Führung im politischen Prozess der USA übernehmen soll, prägt sowohl die Erwartungshaltung der politischen Akteure, Medien und Bevölkerung als auch das Selbstverständnis des Präsidenten. Angesichts seiner Einbettung im System der separated institutions sharing powers sind den Handlungsspielräumen präsidentieller Führung hingegen enge Grenzen gesetzt. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, unter welchen Bedingungen und mittels welcher Instrumente und Strategien der Präsident in der exekutiven, legislativen und öffentlichen Arena eine Führungsposition einzunehmen vermag.
