2009 ACS National Convention Podcast/Interview: Ohio State University Law Professor Peter Shane On Presidential Power
Ohio State University law professor Peter M. Shane, who was a participant on a panel discussion about presidential power at the 2009 ACS Convention, talks with ACSblog about the constitutional methods for checking executive power. Shane, author of the recent book, Madison's Nightmare, says that regardless of the constitutional checks on presidential power, "Unless we can create a political context, in which Congress is vigilant in its use of checking-and-balancing power, the president is going to wind up, de facto, with more and more power anyway."
