This book tells the story of a dozen notable presidential power disputes in our nation's history. Ranging from the Neutrality Controversy of 1793 to the Supreme Court's decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld in 2006, the chapters present a diversity of presidential powers issues. Each chapter examines a dispute's historical and legal background, as well as broader conceptual issues about the role of the President in our constitutional democracy.
