In this provocative and readable volume, eleven leading
constitutional authorities challenge "business as usual" in
American foreign policymaking. For far too long, they contend,
Americans have acquiesced to presidential claims to sweeping
executive powers in foreign
affairs-thanks to imperial-minded presidents, a weak-willed
Congress, and neglectful scholars.
These authors forcefully argue that the president is not the
supreme crafter of foreign policy and that Congress must provide
more than a rubber stamp for the president's agenda. Unilateral
presidential control of foreign relations, they warn, can pose a
grave threat to our nation's welfare and is simply without
constitutional warrant.
Combining constitutional theory with keen historical insights,
these authors illuminate the roots of presidential abuse of
executive power and remind us of the past and potential costs of
such disregard for our unique system of checks-and-balances. An
essential guide for all concerned citizens and members of Congress,
this volume should help revive a proper understanding of this
crucial dimension of American democracy.
