Abstract

Noting that the President is one of many political executives within the American federal system, a number of scholars have suggested that a comparative study of these executives might produce “general propositions concerning American political leadership” (Thomas, 1977:174). While the argument is intuitively appealing, it has yet to be considered in a systematic fashion. Specifically, are there common
elements both in the substance of these offices and in the ways they can be analyzed to justify the comparative approach? In this article we address this basic theoretical issue. Our analysis produces two essential elements for pursuing a comparative study of American political executives. First, a body of literature exists for each of these executives that demonstrates a substantial overlap in the nature of their executive functions. Second, the analytic approaches employed at every level show
a number of similarities—similarities which can be utilized in developing general hypotheses and guidelines for studying political executives. Combining these two elements, we create a theoretical framework for comparative analysis. We believe this framework provides theoretical justification for comparative studies and might serve as a baseline from which common traits of political executives in the American system can be identified and examined.
