“The people have only a very vague direct power. They have the power of voting against the administration, again after its decisions have been taken; but they have no way of getting into the question of policy-making, decision-making, except insofar as the vague forces and pressures of public debate and public opinion have their impact on the President.

In that sense he was condemned to be a dictator.” PeopleWayHas BeensStillsAsksForcePresidentDecisionOpinionTakenPolicyDirectPressureImpactDebateAdministrationVotingDecision MakingDictatorVaguePublic OpinionMaking DecisionsPolicy Making Author:Walter Millis
