Madisonian institutions

| In Glennon's double-government framing, the public constitutional branches—presidency, Congress, and courts. |
Madisonian institutions are, in Michael J. Glennon's double-government vocabulary, the publicly visible constitutional offices of the United States: the presidency, Congress, and the federal courts. Glennon contrasts these "dignified" institutions with the Trumanite network of national-security managers.
The label is interpretive. It alludes to James Madison's constitutional design of separated powers and public accountability, and it is used here only as Glennon's analytical category—not as evidence of hidden control.
