1 Coleman, Chpt 12 Chpt 11 (402-04) Bowler and Donovan Chpt 4 I. The Executive Branch (The Prez) A. Major Themes; what is Prez power vs. Congress? what is nature of Prez power? is President too strong? B. Power: In Constitution, a 'weak' branch 1. Original formal powers quite limited particularly in domestic politics executive powers from Constitution = execute laws unlike parliamentary system, no power to legislate access to leg. process indirect, distant a. Veto power: a negative power
2 2. administer government operations Cabinet power over agencies/bureaucracy? appoints department heads w/ set policy & goals only appoints about 2000 positions 3. influence on judiciary indirect, no control once appointed 4. Impeachable by Congress 5. BUT: extra-constitutional powers from EOP
3 Coleman, Chapt 12 & 5 Chpt 11 (402-04), War Powers Act (on-line) Discussion: Do we need a War Powers Act to check executive power? Does it matter if war "declared" vs. simply started by Pres? C. Pres Power: Domestic vs. Foreign Politics 1. Formal limits on power in intl. relations less clear 2. Commander-Chief power over day-to-day operations of military NOT power to initiate conflict 3. Treaty power enter, negotiate treaties w/ other govts. Senate advise and consent
4 4. Executive agreements see Coleman, Chpt. 12 D. Founder's Intentions 1. Distrust executive authority 2. Legislature close to people 3. Military & War Powers: Madison: executive only has power to repel attacks "Constitution calculated to guard against an executive hurrying into war..." Madison to Jefferson: "executives are prone to war, legislatures are not..." Calculated wording in Const: Congress shall declare war...
5 Congress decides if war to commence Prez. issues admin orders of operation to forces E. Power of Modern Presidents vastly greater today How? Why? II. The Institutional Presidency A. Modern power function of legislative delegation Presidents "stretch" meaning of Constitution 1. Cold War 2. Economic management 3. Modern Media (TV) 4. Congressional delegation 5. Executive agreements / executive orders B. Modern Presidential power more than Cabinet 1. Cabinet = agency/dept. heads Interior, State, Treasury, Agriculture, Labor, Defense, Atty. General, Commerce, etc.
6 2. Many cabinet posts less status some never/rarely meet w/ Cabinet some in Cabinet have ltd/no access to Prez. Cabinet "meeting" = photo op. 3. EOP "parallel" to cabinet Executive office of President 4. Consider: How does EOP, WHO give President power? C. Executive Office of Prez. (EOP) 1,800+ non-cabinet appointments by Prez. Many posts do not need Congressional approval origins in 1930's, FDR Key Elements of EOP: People immediately serving the President Some parts created by Congress Some parts created by President Needed for: Advice, Assitance, Loyalty (secrecy?) New agencies to deal w/ crisis, rather than existing bureaucracy
7 1. White House Office (WHO) o West Wing o Est. by Congress in 1939 o employees Chief of Staff (R. Emanuel) control access to President set president s schedule recommendations on decisions take the blame?? presidents have dift types of management style hands on presidents (Clinton) hand off presidents (R Reagan, GWB?) Deputy Chiefs of Staff Jim Messina, Mona Sutphen Chief White House Counsel (was Greg Craig) o legal advisor on public business o 20 Deputy Counsels: o National Secutiry o Economic policy NOT same thing as Attorney General Advisor for Policy and Strategy
8 (David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett) Other special assistants to President Domestic policy advisors Strategic advisors Legislative affairs Intergovernmental affairs Communications Dir. (Anita Dunn) see map Press secretary (Robert Gibbs) work media co-ordinate, plan daily message speech writing research 2. National Security Council (NSC) est. in 1947 Natl Security Act, along w/ CIA & DOD 60 full-time staff, plus military folks on asst. Council = Joint Cheifs, Sec of Treas, Sec. Defense, VP Natl Security Advisor, Sec of State, Dir of CIA Pres' Cheif of Staff, President's Counsel, Atty Gen. National Security Advisor (GEN. James Jones) loyal to Prez, not civil service or Congress
9 Council of advisors from military classified information access tool to conduct covert military operations 3. Office of Management and Budget (OMB, 1970) Director of OMB (Peter Orszag) Originally the Bureau of the Budget, est largest part of EOP 520 employees "advise President on budgeting and accounting" clearinghouse of spending and rev. info from agencies draft annual budgets to submit to Congress 4. Office of US Trade Representative (Ron Kirk) Fast growing part of EOP 164 employees fast track negotiation powers bi-lateral trade agreements multi-lateral trade agreements 5. Other parts of EOP
10 In EOP: Council of Environmental Quality Domestic Policy Council Council of Economic Advisors Council on Environmental Quality Drug Czar (125 staff) Office of Admin (200 staff) In WHO: Vice President's Office Office of Faith Based Initiatives White House Military Office Office of Science and Technology Homeland Security Council Office of Health Reform lots more
11 III. Asserting Greater Executive Power More than just legislative delegation Not just Bush II Lincoln: Martial law FDR: Japanese Internment, wiretaps, detentions Truman: Korea IKE: Troops to Little Rock, AR LBJ: Vietnam Nixon: Cambodia Reagan: Iran / Contra Bush I: Panama, Somolia, Clinton: Serbia bombing, Haiti, Kosovo Obama:?? Do "Inherent" powers of the office include unilateral action Bush II: Asserting "executive privilege" Refuse to Republican Congress info Cheney's drafting of energy regulations
12 Block access to presidential records/papers (despite Congress's law to open access) Avoid Congress' Open Meeting Laws re: Social Security Commission Opposed Congress granting Homeland Security Director statutory authority o so Director wont have to testify before Congress Expand Executive branch powers to detain suspected criminals Fail to inform Congress about Torture until 'deciding' that it was legal Allow Justice Dept. officials to listen to lawyer-client conversations Take spending authority away from Congress Secured Fast Track trade negotiation abilities Appoint John Poindexter head of Information Awareness Office (convicted of withholding info from Congress) Limit Iraq War intelligence briefings w/ Congress o 'they'll get to know on a need to know basis'
13 Avoid setting nuclear arms policy via treaties, so Congress need not ratify/amend Rejected Amendments to Biological Weapons Convention Bush Doctrine: Pre-emptive War USA PATRIOT Act (passed by Congress) intelligence gathering, role of judges... Act eliminated checks of executive power est. in 1970s after: misuse of surveillance powers by FBI, CIA, IRS Revealed in 1974 that the FBI spied on over 10,000 U.S. citizens, including Martin Luther King.
14 Coleman, Chapt 12 & 5 Chpt 11 (402-04) E. War Power and Modern Presidents Steady increase of presidential power since 1787 Cold War Media / TV Instructional changes A History of Abuse of Presidential Power? Congress abandoning their responsibility? 1. Easier sell for President in Congress and with public : 73% of defense measures approved 71% of treaty and aid requests 40% of domestic initiatives approved 2. Does President really need Congress to act? : 135 instances of troops sent to hostile situations
15 : Iraq 170, Afghanistan?? Kosovo 6, Central America 6, Columbia Eritrea Bosnia 12, Somalia 4, Somalia 26, Haiti 21, Rwanda 2, Iraq 550, Every President deployed troops since 1946 No 'wars' declared 7000 'executive agreements' re: arms sales, troops, assistance thousands of 'executive orders' ex: FDR and 'lend lease' before WWII ex: Bush Sr. and Iraq War, Somalia, Panama ex: Clinton and Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo
16 How Presidents Captured the War Powers Commander-in-Chief powers over military legislative delegation of powers to Prez. claim authorization from Intl. organization Rally effect (public Opinion) can Congress really challenge Prez once troops sent? Broad Congressional Authorization (not declarations of War) In Vietnam, Gulf of Tonkin Resolution With Iraq, a series of actions United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 authorizes the use of all necessary means to enforce Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution Public Law 102-1) Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law )
17 "it should be the policy of the US to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime" Sept. 14, AUTHORIZING USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES AGAINST THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECENT ATTACKS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES (HJR 64) (a) In General.--That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any further acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons. Oct 10, Congressional Joint Resolution to Authorize Use of Force Against Iraq SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES. (a) AUTHORIZATION -- The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to -
18 (1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and (2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq. In Both Resolutions: Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution But: both resolutions: Transferred: responsibility authority power of the Congress to the President : so he can declare war when and if he wants to. He did not indicated he wanted to go to war Did not say we had to go to war he would make the full decision not the Congress not the people through the Congress of this country Should we have a War Powers Act? How should it work?
19 War Powers Act, 1973: In 48 hrs of hostile situation MUST give notice to Congress Congress must authorize in 60 days w/ declaration or statute o President has 60 days to act o Congress can set timeline for withdraw o Congress can extend time-line If no Congressional authorization troops come back (unless attacked) All Presidents ignore Act (some do notify, but...) Court ruled part of Act unconsitutional (1983, legislative veto) Key provisions untested Congress hasn't pushed it Examples of Other Statutory Limits
20 Bolland Amendment (1980s, no aid to Contras) RR Admin ignored (violated) Offenders latter pardoned by Bush Restrictions on CIA, FBI New House Intellegence Committee 1970s Softened with PATRIOT Act Cut funding to military operation Interpretation of Presidential Power (institutional power) A. Uses of Power + Assessment of Institution Hargrove and Nelson 1. Prez is strong, this is a good thing (Savior) Quasi-religious awe of Prez active, global problem solver FDR, JFK (RR?) 2. Prez is too strong, this is a bad thing (Satan) Pres as strong evil force will abuse powers given to institution
21 LBJ, Nixon (RR?) 3. Prez. is politically weak, this a good thing (Seraph) Angels surrounding the throne of God, good in their weakness Pre 1932, IKE 4. Prez is too weak, this a bad thing (Samson) When he transgressed, his powers stripped away Ford, Carter (Clinton?)
