Replication data for: What Time is it? The Use of Power in Four Different Types of Presidential Time, 1996

It describes power use in theories arguing for a gradual secular increase in presidential power over time, in theories arguing for cycles of presidential power in time, in theories contending that power use is determined most markedly by a president being an "early" or "modern" president, and theories which argue that power use is contingent upon the term and year within the term in which a president attempts to use power.

It conducts some preliminary tests of each of these theories and suggests that early/modern theory and the cyclical theory conform to hypothesized predictions about power.
