Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Richard Neustadt argued that the real power of the president in the legislature was the power to persuade despite the lack of significant constitutional authority. Woodrow Wilson also had similar views on presidential power, but he specifically focused on the power of the president to shape public opinion rather than persuade legislators directly. Neither Richard Nixon, Nancy Pelosi, nor William Rehnquist were known for their views on presidential power in the legislature.
