The Federal Appointments Process

"This book is destined to become the leading scholarly study of the American appointments process. It is comprehensive, eminently reasonable, and beautifully written. Gerhardt has assembled a rich collection of examples and he has persuasively interpreted their significance for American political practice. "The Federal Appointments Process" will be indispensible to political scientists, historians, and law professors who study the American separation of powers."--Christopher Eisgruber, Princeton University
