      Summary note
      "This book analyzes the politics of the presidential veto. Combining sophisticated game theory with unprecedented data, it shows how presidents use vetoes and threats of vetoes to wrest policy concessions from a hostile Congress. Case studies of the most important vetoes in recent history add texture to the analysis. The first book-length attempt to bring rational choice theory to bear on the presidency, Veto Bargaining is a major contribution to our understanding of American politics in an age of divided party government."--Jacket
