The executive branch by ISBN: 9780195173932Publication Date: 2005-10-27The Executive Branch, edited by Joel D. Aberbach and Mark A. Peterson, examines the delicate and shifting balance among the three branches of government, which is constantly renegotiated as political leaders contend with the public's paradoxical sentiments-yearning for strong executive leadership yet fearing too much executive power, and welcoming the benefits of public programs yet uneasy about, and indeed often distrusting, big government.The Executive Branch, a collection of essays by some of the nation's leading political scientists and public policy scholars, examines the historical emergence and contemporary performance of the presidency and bureaucracy, as well as their respective relationships with the Congress, the courts, political parties, and American federalism.

U.S. Executive Branch Documents, 1789-1932
The U.S. Congress is not the only source of Federal documents. The Executive branch, headed by the President, consists of many departments, including the Treasury, War, Justice, Agriculture, and State departments (among many others). In the 1990's CIS published an index to the documents produced by these bureaus, agencies, and offices. They also republished the documents not found elsewhere in microfiche format. Today, CIS is part of ProQuest so now you can choose to use these materials online through ProQuest Congressional as well.
While all titles are available in PQC, not all titles are findable in IUCat. Those records that are in IUCat will be connected to the microfiche, not the digital copy in PQC, but you can search the title and date in PQC to find them there.
