Which president was wounded during the Revolutionary War? What is an executive order? How many bills did each president veto? Which president's wife was the first to be called the First Lady? These are just a few of the many questions answered in CQ's Desk Reference on the Presidency.

This ready-reference offers a wealth of information on the presidency. The 500-plus questions have been selected to provide an uncomplicated look at the American presidency, its organization, procedures, and history, as well as the presidents themselves and their families.
