If At First You Don't Succeed, Sign An Executive Order: President Bush And The Expansion Of Charitable Choice, Michele Estrin Gilman Apr 2007

If At First You Don't Succeed, Sign An Executive Order: President Bush And The Expansion Of Charitable Choice, Michele Estrin Gilman

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

This Article analyzes whether President Bush's charitable choice executive orders, which permit religious organizations to apply for federal funds to deliver social services, are a permissible exercise of presidential power. Although Congress has enacted charitable choice provisions in some major statutes, including a 1996 welfare reform act, it debated but did not extend charitable choice throughout the entire federal human services bureaucracy, as the President's executive orders do. The core question this Article examines is whether President Bush's charitable choice executive orders constitute permissible gap-filling of ambiguous statutes under the Chevron doctrine or impermissible exercises of executive lawmaking under Youngstown …

Congress, Civil Liberties, And The War On Terrorism, Neal Devins Apr 2003

Congress, Civil Liberties, And The War On Terrorism, Neal Devins

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

In exercising his war-making powers, the President has historically pursued war-related initiatives that implicate civil liberties. Meanwhile, the Congress, with little incentive to resist these initiatives, has played a steadily declining role in warmaking. In this Essay, Professor Devins examines this dynamic, and argues that with Congress largely standing on the sidelines as the President leads the nation in war, it is the American public that has become the principal check on the powers of the President in wartime.

The Legislator-In-Chief, Vasan Kesavan, J. Gregory Sidak Oct 2002

The Legislator-In-Chief, Vasan Kesavan, J. Gregory Sidak

William & Mary Law Review

The State of the Union and Recommendation Clauses of Article II, Section 3provide that the President "shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. "Those thirty-one words envision the President as the lead active participant in the embryonic stages of the making of laws. Eight separate principles animate the President's legislative duties and powers before the presentment process. When the State of the Union and Recommendation Clauses are seen to have this textual and analytical subtlety, they reveal …

Executive Privilege And Interbranch Comity After Clinton, Jonathan L. Entin Apr 2000

Executive Privilege And Interbranch Comity After Clinton, Jonathan L. Entin

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Although both constitutional theory and practical considerations offer powerful reasons for Congress and the President to prefer negotiation rather than litigation of separation of powers disputes, the Clinton Administration litigated and lost several important cases dealing with presidential power. Some commentators have suggested that these rulings will undermine the presidency for years after Clinton leaves office. Professor Entin assesses some factors, notably the phenomenon of divided government, that might have contributed to the difficulty of reaching interbranch accommodations in recent years and suggests that the long-term implications of the adverse judicial rulings may be less severe than the pessimists fear.

Restoring Balance To The Debate Over Executive Privilege: A Response To Berger, Mark J. Rozell Apr 2000

Restoring Balance To The Debate Over Executive Privilege: A Response To Berger, Mark J. Rozell

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

In this Essay, Professor Rozell responds to Raoul Berger 's Executive Privilege: A Constitutional Myth. Berger's work claims that executive privilege does not have a constitutional basis. Addressing Berger's textual, historical, and structural arguments, Professor Rozell argues contrarily that executive privilege is a legitimate power when exercised properly and that to view executive privilege as a constitutional absolute is improper. As such, Professor Rozell recognizes the limits of executive privilege and suggests that it may be subject to a balancing test when weighed against demands for information. He argues that presidents should not use this power to protect information that …


Invoking Executive Privilege: Navigating Ticklish Political Waters, Louis Fisher Apr 2000

Invoking Executive Privilege: Navigating Ticklish Political Waters, Louis Fisher

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

In this Article, Louis Fisher acknowledges the constitutional legitimacy of executive privilege, but he argues that legal and political limits render the scope of the privilege narrower than what is commonly believed In support of his argument, he points to early precedents set during the Washington Administration and to congressional leverage over the executive branch. Though he recognizes the executive branch's interest in ensuring that information is disclosed through authorized channels and its concern about disclosures of information that may embarrass the administration or one of its agency's, he asserts that there is no legal or constitutionaI justification for concealing …
