Book Synopsis The Oath and the Office: A Guide to the Constitution for Future Presidents by : Corey Brettschneider
Download or read book The Oath and the Office: A Guide to the Constitution for Future Presidents written by Corey Brettschneider and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A cleareyed, accessible, and informative primer: vital reading for all Americans." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review Can the president launch a nuclear attack without congressional approval? Is it ever a crime to criticize the president? Can states legally resist a president’s executive order? In today’s fraught political climate, it often seems as if we must become constitutional law scholars just to understand the news from Washington, let alone make a responsible decision at the polls. The Oath and the Office is the book we need, right now and into the future, whether we are voting for or running to become president of the United States. Constitutional law scholar and political science professor Corey Brettschneider guides us through the Constitution and explains the powers—and limits—that it places on the presidency. From the document itself and from American history’s most famous court cases, we learn why certain powers were granted to the presidency, how the Bill of Rights limits those powers, and what “we the people” can do to influence the nation’s highest public office—including, if need be, removing the person in it. In these brief yet deeply researched chapters, we meet founding fathers such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, as well as key figures from historic cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Korematsu v. United States. Brettschneider breathes new life into the articles and amendments that we once read about in high school civics class, but that have real impact on our lives today. The Oath and the Office offers a compact, comprehensive tour of the Constitution, and empowers all readers, voters, and future presidents with the knowledge and confidence to read and understand one of our nation’s most important founding documents.

Book excerpt: I Swear: The Meaning of an Oath looks at how taking an oath may impact the obligations of the oath taker, and the perceptions and expectations of those around him. The book begins with Aeschylus - "It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath." The author explores whether Aeschylus was correct through stories of diverse and varied individuals who took an oath - doctor, lawyer, priest, journalist, CIA director, "made man," and president, to name a few. Most of the time, people are able to keep their oath. But what happens when the decision to keep an oath may result in an injustice, or a situation where others are hurt? What do your oaths mean to you, and what do they mean to those around you? Do societal pressures allow one to break his oath? What does your moral compass tell you to do when violating your oath is somehow the "right" thing to do, however wrong it is, because you're violating it?

Book excerpt: Can you recall an instance when you were introduced to something-anything-that rocked your world, leaving you with a vague but undeniable certainty that you'd touched into the miraculous? For both Bodie McCoy and his wife Barbara, that instance came with the introduction of the Lord's Prayer into their young lives.' Live the Promise is their book about the relationship of the Lord's Prayer to the world's major mystical and religious traditions and its magical, mystical, ultra-light and yet entirely down-to-earth power to take us to the ultimate seat of wisdom within. Live the Promise begins with Bodie's heart-centered story of his own spiritual unfolding. From there, it leads into the creation of a game that opens people to deeper levels of inner truth by exposing some of the limitations they've accepted-with a game board Bodie intuitively created that turned out to embody the star tetrahedron, the flower of life as well as sacred symbols from many ancient teachings. And the story continues, with a journey to ancient Mayan temples with Hunbatz Men... to the heart of sacred geometry with Drunvalo Melchizedek... to a variety of Eastern spiritual traditions... to holographic insights about time travel and heredity... to a really expensive cup of coffee... to a simple exercise that brings it all together and offers your own experience of the promise embodied in the Lord's Prayer. Live the Promise is a heady book abundantly laced with heart, written by an author I know as a man of extraordinary love and gentleness. The whole point, is "to offer exercises to experientially reveal the promise of the Lord's Prayer within you." It's a book that will help you uncover in a meaningful way' ever-deeper levels of the God/Goddess that you are.
