If it had been a gain of , say,  150,000 sure that would have been better: there'd have been an additional 55,000 fewer people who might have ceased being furious.But 95,000 was better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick as my old granny used to say.

What does history tell us about presidents who have tried to push the limits of the system? Editor’s Note: Todd Belt is a professor of political science at George Washington University and director of the Political Management program. He is the co-author of four books including The Post-Heroic Presidency: Leveraged Leadership in an Age of Limits. For the past 25 years, I have taught courses on the U.S. presidency, emphasizing a fundamental principle: the president is not a king.
