...first year as first President, George Washington approved 27 laws, made about no appointments, and his budgetmaking amounted to no more than signing a 13-line document prepared in Congress.

Yet today, in a typical year, Dwight Eisenhower may sign 750 bills, send 40,000 promotions and appointments to Congress, and take the responsibility for a budget that fills 1,100 small-print pages.
