The original conception of “war powers,” as defined in the Constitution by the new American republic, was a power not vested 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. This pamplet examines this history of the war powers and how this conception has changed over the past two hundred years.
Louis Fisher is a specialist in constitutional law with the Law Library of the Library of Congress. His books include Presidential War Power, 2d ed.; American Constitutional Law, 7th ed. (with David Gray Adler); and The Politics of Executive Privilege.
