  • "From the foundation of the American Republic, presidents have dealt with internal and external national security threats. From President Washington's policy of neutrality during wars between Great Britain and France in eighteenth century, to President Lincoln and the war to save the union, to President Wilson during the war to end all wars, to President Roosevelt and war of the Greatest Generation, to President Truman and his steel during the forgotten war, and recently to President Bush and War on Terror, presidents have used their power as commander-in-chief to meet challenges of national crisis and war. The judiciary, specifically the Supreme Court, has also played an integral part in historical development and defining of the commander-in-chief power in times of war and national crisis from earliest days of the republic. How these powers have grown is a consequence of how the presidents have viewed the office of the presidency and how the judiciary has interpreted the commander-in-chief and executive power clauses of the U.S. Constitution. Author Arthur Garrison provides a chronological review of major national security and war events in American history. He reviews debates between Hamilton and Madison and Chief Justice Roger Taney and Attorney General Edward Bates on presidential executive power and how subsequent presidents have adopted the Hamiltonian view of the presidency. He also examines how Article III courts, specifically the Supreme Court, have defined, expanded, and established boundaries on commander-in-chief power. With this historical backdrop, Garrison reveals how the judiciary has defended the rule of law and maintained the principle that under the U.S. Constitution neither guns of war nor threats to safety have silenced the rule of law."
