Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics, Politics, and the Independent Counsel is the first-ever book-length study of the "special prosecutor" law passed in the aftermath of Watergate. Terry Eastland examines the origins and enactment of the law, as well as subsequent revisions. He analyzes the Supreme Court's recent opinion upholding the law in Morrison v. Olson. And he discusses how the law, which is scheduled to expire in 1992, should be amended and even rethought. A work of law, history, and public policy, Ethics, Politics, and the Independent Counsel raises important questions about an increasingly influential federal law and its implications for the future of American government.

Book excerpt: The authors analyze the origins, evolution, functions and dissolution of the office of the independent counsel, created in the late-1970s to investigate and prosecute alleged executive misconduct in the federal government. They provide an overview of how executive misconduct was handled in the 18th, 19th and early-20th centuries, and then review the Watergate investigations which led to passage of the first independent counsel law in 1978. A summary of each of the 20 independent counsel investigations is followed by a chapter on the dissolution of the law in 1999, regulations which replaced the expired law, and possible ways to handle future alleged executive misconduct.
Book Synopsis The Special Prosecutor in American Politics by : Katy Jean Harriger
Download or read book The Special Prosecutor in American Politics written by Katy Jean Harriger and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal special prosecutor: unprincipled abuser of power or staunch defender of the law? As Katy Harriger shows, the special prosecutor was a hotly debated and controversial subject throughout much of its existence. This was especially true, she argues, during the lengthy, expensive, and highly-politicized investigations of Lawrence Walsh and Kenneth Starr into allegations concerning Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Harriger offers the most complete assessment available of the use of special prosecutors in the post-Watergate era. She analyzes the independent counsel's role within the framework of the separation of powers, explaining how each has interacted with other key players in the political and legal system and showing how those relationships have affected the prosecutor's ability to conduct investigations. Harriger's previous edition focused on the legacy of Watergate but was published before Walsh's Iran-Contra investigations were concluded. Her new study adds substantially more information on Iran-Contra, provides a clearheaded appraisal of Starr's sensationalized Whitewater-Lewinsky investigations, examines a number of senior-level cabinet probes, and critiques and clarifies the role of Attorney General Janet Reno in these latter matters. A completely new chapter compares Iran-Contra and Whitewater-Lewinsky to explore the limits of the law in the special prosecutor's efforts. In this new edition, Harriger includes 20 new interviews with Washington insiders-including one with Kenneth Starr-and covers the debates that led to both the reauthorization of the independent counsel statute in 1994 and its demise in 1999. She then examines the pros and cons of the office and offers constructive suggestions for improvement should it be revived. For students, scholars, and concerned citizens, her book takes us well beyond frenzied media hype and partisan politics to provide a timely reminder about the crucial role of separation of powers in our system of governance.

Book Synopsis Historical Encyclopedia of U.S. Independent Counsel Investigations by : Gerald S. Greenberg
Download or read book Historical Encyclopedia of U.S. Independent Counsel Investigations written by Gerald S. Greenberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compilation of the U.S. federal special prosecutor/independent counsel investigations spanning the complete twenty-one year tenure from 1978-1999 of the independent counsel statute. The entries include individuals who have served as investigators; those who have been targets of investigations; all attorney generals who have called for appointment of special prosecutors; all presidents during whose terms of office such prosecutors served; and all legal cases that served to argue for or against the constitutionality of the independent counsel statute. These historical precedents are traced from Ulysses Grant's appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the St. Louis Whiskey Scandal in 1875. More contemporary cases include Watergate, precipitated by Richard Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre dismissal of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox in 1973; Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh's Iran-Contra Investigation; and Special Prosecutor Ken Starr's Whitewater investigation of the Clintons and the ensuing permutations which brought individuals like Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky to prominence and also brought the statute calling for such investigations into constitutional debate. The book is fully cross-referenced and contains a comprehensive bibliography and index. It will be of interest to scholars and students of American History and Constitutional History.

Book Synopsis The Unitary Executive Theory by : Jeffrey Crouch
Download or read book The Unitary Executive Theory written by Jeffrey Crouch and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I have an Article II,” Donald Trump has announced, citing the US Constitution, “where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.” Though this statement would have come as a shock to the framers of the Constitution, it fairly sums up the essence of “the unitary executive theory.” This theory, which emerged during the Reagan administration and gathered strength with every subsequent presidency, counters the system of checks and balances that constrains a president’s executive impulses. It also, the authors of this book contend, counters the letter and spirit of the Constitution. In their account of the rise of unitary executive theory over the last several decades, the authors refute the notion that this overweening view of executive power has been a common feature of the presidency from the beginning of the Republic. Rather, they show, it was invented under the Reagan Administration, got a boost during the George W. Bush administration, and has found its logical extension in the Trump administration. This critique of the unitary executive theory reveals it as a misguided model for understanding presidential powers. While its adherents argue that greater presidential power makes government more efficient, the results have shown otherwise. Dismantling the myth that presidents enjoy unchecked plenary powers, the authors advocate for principles of separation of powers—of checks and balances—that honor the Constitution and support the republican government its framers envisioned. A much-needed primer on presidential power, from the nation’s founding through Donald Trump’s impeachment, The Unitary Executive Theory: A Danger to Constitutional Government makes a robust and persuasive case for a return to our constitutional limits.
