Executive orders in the US political system
Bui Thuy, Hanh ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
During the formative years of the American political system, the presidency has adopted so called unilateral tools, by which the President is able to enforce his agenda without the need of consent from the Congress or judiciary court. However, these tools are not written in the Constitution and their amount and means of usage has changed throughout time. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to study the factors that have caused these changes, specifically the unilateral tool of executive orders. The thesis analyses executive orders issued by the current president of the United States, Barack Obama, whose governing tenure is often characterized by frequent use of executive orders. It also examines whether and how these executive orders can be evaluated from the perspective of the Constitution. The result of the thesis serves as an introduction to the issue of these controversial presidential acts with the need of further study within the complexity of the American political system.

US President and his relation with media
Vránová, Kateřina ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Váňa, Tomáš (referee)
The text deals with the relationship between the media and the President of the United States of America. During the twentieth century, the president becomes the most visible part of the American political system. At the expense of the Congress, he takes on more initiative and becomes more active. Consequently in this area the role of the media increases because they inform the public about activities of the President. Public relations appear as a new aspect of the presidency. It is then up to each president how to deal with this new role. This thesis deals with various aspects of the relationship between the president and the media. It focuses on the communication means between White House and reporters and the strategy of this communication. In addition, it also explores the subsequent influence that media have on public opinion regarding the president and his public support and evaluation. This knowledge is then practically applied to the case of President Barack Obama.

Sedlák, Roman ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Just, Petr (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the Imperial Presidency. Arthur Schlesinger is the author of this term in the realm of Political Science. His book was a reaction to the gradual accretion of political power in the office of the President of the United States. Imperial Presidency is described by variables: a) The President overreaches his powers given to him by the Constitution of the USA; b) The President is not limited by other branches of power. The theories behind this thesis are called the unilateral action theory and the unitary presidency theory. After designating variables in the thesis we should be able to answer the question: "What kind of political behaviour describes imperial presidency?"
