federalism, the Federalist Society, and the unitary executive

[MatthewHPolSci at aol.com]

With due respect to the model as to the liberal-conservative  tendency of the 
unitary executive concept, how far back can the argument be  carried?  Does 
Grover Cleveland, whose view of the Presidential role on  domestic labor policy 
was not "liberal," count in this discussion?
 
Has anyone studied the experience of American Presidents over time from the  
point of view work that would sustain the model (if I understand it  
properly)?  
 
With the large number of young political scientists who must see this list,  
and with the increasing number of law professors also equipped with social  
science research training, I might wonder if someone already has an  answer.
