4.0 out of 5 stars
Convincing Case for the Congress to reassert it's Perogative,
By "rjehue" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Congressional Abdication on War and Spending (Joseph V. Hughes Jr. and Holly O. Hughes Series on the Presidency and Leadership) (Paperback)
I read this book for a course on the US Congress. Louis Fisher paints a picture of a Congress that has lost it's will to fight the president for it's war and spending powers which are explicitly given to it in the Constitution. The book shows that up until President Truman, Congress had exclusive control over these powers. The president grabbed more power during war time, but then power went back to Congress in peace. Fisher Argues that since Truman congress has given up these power, or abdicated them, and no longer trusts itself to conduct the nations business.
