Each reconstructive president meets "an ever thicker government that can parry and deflect more of their repudiative thrust." The history of reconstructive politics evolves from the free hand of a Jefferson to the "single-jolt affair" of the 1981 "Reagan Revolution" (p.
It seems likely that, on entering office, FDR recognized that he possessed great "repudiative warrants" in contrast to Eisenhower's reading of his situation two decades later.
Johnson was the "faithful son in a long-established party coalition." He "took as his charge the implementation of the received orthodoxy" and came to power "at the most pregnant moment for doing so since the coalition's founding." In contrast to his acronymic predecessor FDR, LBJ lacked the necessary repudiative warrants against a "preexisting regime," warrants "wholly affirmative" proving again inadequate when the "disruptive force" of Johnson's programs was felt (pp.
And Johnson may have been brought down not just because he lacked the repudiative "warrants," as Politics maintains, but because the 1964 landslide victory over Goldwater fostered an illusion that there were "affirmative warrants" available for major policy departures (instead of Johnson being only the temporary beneficiary of post-assassination consensus and Goldwater's very limited appeal).

Yes, Lincoln did seek the broadest possible coalition at the outset of his presidency, and he pressed his repudiative warrants only gradually and under pressure, but as these nuances fit quite closely the larger pattern of reconstructive politics described in the other examples, in what sense do they amount to a "counter case?" Let us grant all these details and ask whether there is not still a striking pattern to these reconstructive presidencies, whether this reconstructive pattern is not worthy of explanation in its own right, whether the key variables indicated do not help to account for it, and whether the explanation offered does not tell us something fundamental about the American presidency as a position of national political leadership.
