This article explores the influence of municipal reform on the Office of the President. In doing so, this article presents the idea that members of the Brownlow Committee may have used the municipal reform model as a broader tool for Executive reform. This reform model serves well a system of governance designed to act as a unitary system of power. When transposed, however, onto a system designed for shared or polycentric power, the reasoning behind this reorganization analogy becomes obscured. In many ways, the use of potentially flawed logic may contribute to misplaced hopes and ambitions in the Office of the President.
