A new chapter and other elements have been added to the book, which originally appeared in the fall of 2019. This expanded, updated edition probes the election of Joe Biden in 2020, the transition of the White House from Donald Trump to Biden, and Biden's first several months in office.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Schmuhl traces the evolution of the modern presidency back to the terms of Franklin Roosevelt, maintaining that FDR's White House years had a profound impact on the office, resulting in significant changes to the job and to those who've served since then. Specifically, the Twenty-Second Amendment to the Constitution, limiting a president to two terms, has largely redefined each administration's agenda. News sources and social media have also grown exponentially, exercising influence over the conduct of presidents and affecting the consequences of their behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchmuhl examines the presidency as an institution and the presidents as individuals from several different perspectives. \u003ci\u003eThe Glory and the Burden\u003c\/i\u003e is an engrossing read for a general audience, particularly those with an interest in politics, American history, and communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Schmuhl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268203776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268203771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Robert Schmuhl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070632718591,"sku":"9780268203771","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f101fada-4c90-4d29-992c-db2fc548b421.jpg?v=1685431454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-glory-and-the-burden-robert-schmuhl-9780268203771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
