Popular Picture
Glenn,
The picture on the cover of your book seems to be popular. Charles Tiefer uses it for his book, Veering Right (http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/10281.html). That gives me the excuse to recommend another of his books, The Semi-Sovereign Presidency. I'm not sure if you've read it (I've only begun reading it myself), but it details the elder Bush's evasion of Congress in the governing process, including his widespread use of signing statements. You're probably more in the know about this earlier practice than I am, but much of the coverage of W's use of signing statements treats it as a new practice.
Keep up the good work,
