The Case for Congress: Separation of Powers and the War on Terror
examines the constitutional relationship between Congress and the
President in the post-September 11 world, arguing that Congress
should exercise its legitimate authority in guiding United States
policy. While many commentators have focused on the extent of the
President's national security and foreign affairs authority, both
domestically and abroad, this title focuses on the constitutional
authority of Congress to serve as a check on executive power. As a
national consensus has developed around the notion that the Bush
administration made grave errors in its policy decisions, a
reminder of the leading role that Congress can play in those
decisions is particularly appropriate. Unlike scholarly work
devoted either to detailing or criticizing the Bush
administration's policy decisions, this accessible and balanced
book focuses on the policies themselves, and on the way in which
Congress can influence those policies for the better. The authors
further offer specific and useful recommendations for legislative
measures that may correct existing policy deficiencies and promote
sounder decision-making in the area of national security and
foreign affairs.
