[Peace-discuss] BHO as commander-in-chief

[Ron Szoke]

February 4 @ 12 noon
PRESIDENT OBAMA AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF
Ryan Hendrickson, Professor of Political Science, Eastern Illinois University 
 
The talk examines how President Obama and his administration view their 
authority to use force abroad, and the extent to which Congress has 
exercised its own constitutional war powers against the commander in 
chief. The research suggests that Obama has been very much like his 
predecessors in how he envisions the president's authority to use force, as 
Congress has generally remained deferential to Obama's military 
leadership.
