During his first term in office, Pres. George W. Bush made
reference to the "unitary executive" ninety-five times, as part of
signing statements, proclamations, and executive orders. Pres.
Barack Obama's actions continue to make issues of executive power
as timely as ever.
Unitary executive theory stems from interpretation of the
constitutional assertion that the president is vested with the
"executive power" of the United States. In this groundbreaking
collection of studies, eleven presidential scholars examine for the
first time the origins, development, use, and future of this
theory.
"
The Unitary Executive and the Modern Presidency" examines how the
unitary executive theory became a recognized constitutional theory
of presidential authority, how it has evolved, how it has been
employed by presidents of both parties, and how its use has
affected and been affected by U.S. politics. This book also
examines the constitutional, political, and even psychological
impact of the last thirty years of turmoil in the executive branch
and the ways that controversy has altered both the exercise and the
public's view of presidential power.
