The scope of presidential authority has been a constant focus of
constitutional dispute since the Framing. The bases for
presidential appointment and removal, the responsibility of the
Executive to choose between the will of Congress and the President,
the extent of unitary powers over the military, even the ability of
the President to keep secret the identity of those consulted in
policy making decisions have all been the subject of intense
controversy. The scope of that power and the manner of its exercise
affect not only the actions of the President and the White House
staff, but also all staff employed by the executive agencies. There
is a clear need to examine the law of the entire executive branch.
The Law of the Executive Branch: Presidential Power, places the law
of the executive branch firmly in the context of constitutional
language, framers' intent, and more than two centuries of practice.
In this book, Louis Fisher strives to separate legitimate from
illegitimate sources of power, through analysis that is informed by
litigation as well as shaped by presidential initiatives, statutory
policy, judicial interpretations, and public and international
pressures. Each provision of the US Constitution is analyzed to
reveal its contemporary meaning in concert with the application of
presidential power. Controversial issues covered in the book
include: unilateral presidential wars; the state secrets privilege;
extraordinary rendition; claims of "inherent" presidential powers
that may not be checked by other branches; and executive privilege.
