The LawBarackObama andCivilLiberties

In: Presidential studies quarterly: official publication of the Center for the Study of the Presidency, Volume 42, Issue 4, p. 867-880

MostAmericans would like to believe that no person is above the law. WhenPresidentRichardM.Nixon claimed such powers, he was driven from office. WhenPresidentGeorgeW.Bush authorized the torture of prisoners, that abuse was viewed as an aberration. But, as this article documents,PresidentBarackObama is squarely in theNixon‐Bush tradition of presidential power. In shielding the torturers from prosecution, he has preserved kidnapping and torture as options, while asserting unreviewable authority to assassinate foreigners andAmerican citizens by remote controlled drones. These developments have transformed theAmerican presidency into a modern version of theStuart monarchies, at least where allegations of national security are concerned.
