Social:Taftian theory
From HandWiki
Taftian theory (also "Whig" theory)[1] is a political term in the United States referring to a strict constructionist view regarding presidential power and the United States Constitution, where a president's power is limited to those powers specifically enumerated by the Constitution.[2][3]
Taftian Theory was coined after the governing style of the 27th president of the United States, William Howard Taft. Most presidents prior to Franklin D Roosevelt subscribed to this theory, as where more recent presidents subscribe to a stewardship theory.[3]
