What Arthur Schlesinger ultimately came up and discovered was the imperial presidency under Nixon. What Nixon did I didn't like was he picked up what Lyndon Johnson and John F. Kennedy had done in terms of the imperial-- what I consider the imperialization of the presidency and continued and expanded it.

It seems like the Imperialization of the President coincides with the availability of TV to the masses.

Would you say that was a cause or an effect? Or mere coincidence?

I wouldn't call Truman, Eisenhower or JFK imperial. The JFK assassination appears to be a turning point in all federal politics.
