Time and again, in recent years, the charge has been made that
sitting presidents have behaved "imperially," employing authorities
that break the bounds of law and the Constitution. It is now an
epithet used to describe presidencies of both parties. The Imperial
Presidency and the Constitution examines this critical issue from a
variety of perspectives: analyzing the president's role in the
administrative state, as commander-in-chief, as occupant of the
modern "Bully Pulpit," and, in separate essays, addressing recent
presidents' relationship with Congress and the Supreme Court. The
volume also deepens the discussion by taking a look back at Abraham
Lincoln's expansive use of executive power during the Civil War
where the tension between law and necessity were at their most
extreme, calling into question the "rule of law" itself. The volume
concludes with an examination of how the Constitution's provision
of both "powers and duties" for the president can provide a roadmap
for assessing the propriety of executive behavior.
