| Description: |
This book challenges the view that in foreign affairs and anti-terrorism matters, the President "is" the law and is "above" the law. |
| Synopsis: |
In the aftermath of the tragic September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States, the Bush administration acted boldly and often unilaterally to thwart terrorism at home and abroad. At the time, the President's actions were legitimized by claims that the President had broad constitutional powers in the areas of war and foreign policy. These claims were bolstered in a series of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel memos claiming that the President's actions in this area were nonreviewable by other branches. The subject of widespread debate and outrage, the legal rationales offered seemed to violate the concept of checks and balances built into the United States Constitution.This work examines the evolution of claims of independent executive power by exploring the roots and development of executive prerogative in America. |
