Disempowering the President
War and the Rogue Presidency: Restoring the Republic After Congressional Failure, by Ivan Eland, Oakland, California: Independent Institute, 2019, 350 pages, hardcover.
The United Nations recognizes 195 countries. The United States has a military presence in more than 150 of those. A little math reveals that there are American military operations in nearly 77 percent of the world! With that in mind, there is no better time than now for a book completely committed to “restoring the republic after congressional failure.”
Congressional failure to do what? To exercise its exclusive constitutional authority to declare war!
In his latest book, War and the Rogue Presidency, author Ivan Eland calls out Congress for surrendering its war-making power to the president. “The expansion of executive power over the nation’s history — especially since the dawn of the long Cold War and seemingly perpetual war on terror — has been less caused by presidential usurpation and more a result of congressional abdication,” Eland explains in War and the Rogue Presidency, published by Independent Institute.
