Congressional Authorization And The War On Terrorism, Curtis A. Bradley, Jack L. Goldsmith
Congressional Authorization And The War On Terrorism, Curtis A. Bradley, Jack L. Goldsmith
Faculty Scholarship
This Article presents a framework for interpreting Congress's September 18, 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), the central statutory enactment related to the war on terrorism.
