Yet the same rules must apply to all presidents, those whose abuses of power we fear as well as those whose exercises of power we applaud. This book is about what constitutional law tells us about presidential power and its limits. It is very difficult to strike the right balance between limiting abuse of power and authorizing its exercise when needed. This book advocates a balanced, pragmatic approach to these issues, rooted in history and Supreme Court rulings"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 342.062 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
