Lincoln And Chief Justice Taney: Slavery, Secession, And The President's War Powers, James F. Simon
Lincoln And Chief Justice Taney: Slavery, Secession, And The President's War Powers, James F. Simon
Books
The clashes between President Abraham Lincoln and Chief Justice Roger B. Taney over slavery, secession, and the president's constitutional war powers went to the heart of Lincoln's presidency. James Simon, author of the acclaimed What Kind of Nation, brings to vivid life the passionate struggle during the worst crisis in the nation's history, the Civil War. The issues that underlaid that crisis -- race, states' rights, and the president's wartime authority -- resonate today in the nation's political debate.
What’S International Law Got To Do With It? Transnational Law And The Intelligence Mission, James E. Baker
What’S International Law Got To Do With It? Transnational Law And The Intelligence Mission, James E. Baker
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The United States faces an immediate and continuous threat of terrorist attack using weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons. The intelligence function and national security law, including international law--or more accurately transnational law--are central to addressing this threat. Indeed, international law is more relevant today in addressing this threat than it was before September 11. Part II of this article describes a continuum of contemporary threats to U.S. national security, with a focus on nonstate terrorism. Part III addresses the role of intelligence and national security law, and in particular law addressed to process, in combating these threats. Part …

Faithfully Executing The Laws: Internal Legal Constraints On Executive Power, Dawn E. Johnsen
Faithfully Executing The Laws: Internal Legal Constraints On Executive Power, Dawn E. Johnsen
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Since September 11, 2001 the Bush Administration has engaged in a host of controversial counterterrorism actions that threaten civil liberties and even the physical safety of those targeted: enemy combatant designations, extreme interrogation techniques, extraordinary renditions, secret overseas prisons, and warrantless domestic surveillance. To justify otherwise-unlawful policies, President Bush and his lawyers have espoused an extreme view of expansive presidential power during times of war and national emergency. Debate has raged about the details of desirable external checks on presidential excesses, with emphasis appropriately on the U.S. Congress and the courts. Yet an essential internal source of constraint is often …

A Paper Tiger With Bite: A Defense Of The War Powers Resolution, Michael B. Weiner
A Paper Tiger With Bite: A Defense Of The War Powers Resolution, Michael B. Weiner
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The War Powers Resolution (WPR) has led a beleaguered existence. Since its enactment in 1973, it has been labeled ineffectual and useless. This Note proves, however, that to review presidential unilateral uses of force since 1973 is to find a spirit of compliance with the WPR, as these uses of force have been characterized by their brevity and their lack of spilled U.S.blood. While minor departures from the WPR's black-letter requirements are conceded, none of these uses of force have developed into, or even resembled, Vietnam-esque quagmires. As a result, this Note contends that the WPR has had a positive …
How 'Wilsonian' Was Woodrow Wilson, Mark Weston Janis
How 'Wilsonian' Was Woodrow Wilson, Mark Weston Janis
Faculty Articles and Papers
This essay reveals how President Woodrow Wilson's passion for international law slowly developed over several stages in his life from his professorship at Princeton to his presidency. By exploring Wilson's conversion from a skeptic of international law to one of its greatest proponents, the author shows how Wilson's world view shaped American foreign policy and the political landscape.

Overseer, Or "The Decider"? The President In Administrative Law, Peter L. Strauss
Overseer, Or "The Decider"? The President In Administrative Law, Peter L. Strauss
Faculty Scholarship
All will agree that the Constitution creates a unitary chief executive officer, the President, at the head of the government Congress defines to do the work its statutes detail. Disagreement arises over what his function entails. Once Congress has defined some element of government and specified its responsibilities, we know that the constitutional roles of both Congress and the courts are those of oversight of the agency and its assigned work, not the actual performance of that work. But is it the same for the President? When Congress confers authority on the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate various forms of …

Sources Of Presidential Papers And Documents On The Web, Barbara H. Garavaglia
Sources Of Presidential Papers And Documents On The Web, Barbara H. Garavaglia
Articles
The President of the United States and his staff produce a large volume of documents and other materials. These documents fall into two major categories. The first category is comprised of archival presidential materials such as papers, documents, visual and audio records of the presidency, and the personal papers of the president, his family, associates, and friends. This category of presidential material is primarily of interest to historians, political scientists, and other scholars because it provides "a comprehensive view of our Presidents and... [U.S.] history."1 The second category is comprised of presidential documents with legal effect used by the president …
The Presidential Signing Statements Controversy, Ronald A. Cass, Peter L. Strauss
The Presidential Signing Statements Controversy, Ronald A. Cass, Peter L. Strauss
Faculty Scholarship
Presidential signing statements have come out of obscurity and into the headlines. Along with salutary attention to an interesting issue, the new public visibility of signing statements has generated much overblown commentary. The desire to make these little-known documents interesting to the public – and to score points in the inevitable political battles over any practice engaged in by a sitting President – has produced a lot of discussion that misleads the public and has tended to obscure the significant issues surrounding the use of signing statements. Reflection may help put the discussion in a more useful perspective. We offer …

Adapting To Administrative Law's Erie Doctrine, Kathryn A. Watts
Adapting To Administrative Law's Erie Doctrine, Kathryn A. Watts
Articles
This Article looks to the federalism context and draws on the federal courts' experience adapting to the Court's landmark decision in Erie Railroad Company v. Tompkins. Much like Brand X, the Court's Erie decision, which commanded federal courts to apply state law in all cases not governed by positive federal law, significantly reduced the lawmaking power of the federal courts by putting the federal courts in the position of interpreting law that they cannot definitively construe. Although Erie seemed simple enough to adhere to when state law provided a clear answer, Erie posed a serious dilemma when federal courts …
Regulatory Beneficiaries And Informal Agency Policymaking, Nina A. Mendelson
Regulatory Beneficiaries And Informal Agency Policymaking, Nina A. Mendelson
Articles
Administrative agencies frequently use guidance documents to set policy broadly and prospectively in areas ranging from Department of Education Title IX enforcement to Food and Drug Administration regulation of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising. In form, these guidances often closely resemble the policies agencies issue in ordinary notice-and-comment rulemaking. However, guidances are generally developed with little public participation and are often immune from judicial review. Nonetheless, guidances can prompt significant changes in behavior from those the agencies regulate. A number of commentators have guardedly defended the current state of affairs. Though guidances lack some important procedural safeguards, they can help agencies supervise …
