LAW 7450
Topics in Presidential Power

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

The course will address the history of presidential power and its constitutional and political implications. From the "Age of Reason" in 1787 to the present, the authority and power of the President of the United States has been the subject of intense scrutiny. The course will examine the executive branch relative to the enumerated and implied powers of that branch as shaped by war and conflict, presidential initiatives, congressional action, and judicial action. This will include the historical and recent presidential claims of inherent and prerogative power and the Constitutional endangerment associated with those claims.

When Offered Fall, Spring.
