Guess who said this about which Constitution crushing president...
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 12:37 PM by BurtWorm
Guess who made the following statement about which President:

President ____ exercised the powers of the imperial presidency to the utmost in the area in which those powers are already at their height — in our dealings with foreign nations. Unfortunately, the record of the administration has not been a happy one, in light of its costs to the Constitution and the American legal system. On a series of different international relations matters, such as war, international institutions, and treaties, President ____ has accelerated the disturbing trends in foreign policy that undermine notions of democratic accountability and respect for the rule of law.


<For answer scroll down>










Answer: Professor John Yoo, discussing President Bill Clinton.

Source: John C. Yoo, The Imperial President Abroad, in Roger Pilon, ed., The Rule of Law in the Wake of Clinton 159 (2000).
