“The Moral Rhetoric of American Presidents” Texas A&M Press, 2006 and 2007 (updated edition)
The Moral Rhetoric of American Presidents analyzes the president’s role as the nation’s moral spokesman. By employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, I argue that moral and religious rhetoric should not be viewed simply as a reflection of individual character or as a fulfillment of American “civil religion” but as a strategic tool used to enhance a president’s constitutional authority. To determine how if the presidential use of moral and religious rhetoric has changed over time, I provide content analyses of the State of the Union and Inaugural Addresses from George Washington through George W. Bush. The quantitative evidence shows that while presidents of both parties have used moral and religious arguments, its frequency has fluctuated considerably and become increasingly detached from relevant policy arguments. The book also utilizes a qualitative approach, which consists of nine historical case studies (Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Carter, Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy, Madison, Buchanan, and Lyndon Johnson) that examine the political effects of the rhetorical choices presidents make. I show that presidents who adapt their rhetoric to the political conditions at hand enhance their constitutional authority while presidents who ignore these political restraints suffer adverse political consequences. The specific political circumstances that both encourage and discourage presidents to engage in vocalized moral leadership are highlighted in the case studies. The book concludes with an analysis of George W. Bush’s presidential rhetoric and discusses several dilemmas of governance instigated by his persistent devotion to moral and religious argumentation.
In 2009, the Wall Street Journal named The Moral Rhetoric of American Presidents one of the “top five” books written on presidential rhetoric.
