War Power Showdown: James Madison vs the Executive Branch
Manage episode 489534356 series 2530035
There is no situation – ever – where the President can unilaterally take the United States to war. No emergency. No exception. No loophole. James Madison made this absolutely clear, again and again. And when he became president, he followed that rule to the letter – not once, but twice – in the heat of war. In this episode: the father of the Constitution vs the modern myth of unilateral executive war power.
