    The bully pulpit in Roosevelt’s mind wasn’t about pummeling legislators with presidential authority; rather, he believed the president could encourage the public to push their legislators on behalf of his agenda. - source

    Not using the bully pulpit as president to push your agenda is almost malfeasance. If he has votes/support, there is no need for it.
