Overview

Louis Fisher focuses on the Constitutional issue of the war power, a topic that goes to the heart of what the framers thought they were creating: a republican form of government that broke with monarchical war models. In contrast to old-world theories, the American republic vested foreign affairs and the war power not in the U.S. president but in the people, who through regular elections expected Congress to make the ultimate decision on taking the nation to war against another country.
