This volume uses essential and illuminating primary documents as a portal for understanding the evolution and present parameters of presidential power, the relationship between Americas three branches of government, and why wartime often leads presidents to claim expansive powers and authority.
Presidential Power: Documents Decoded provides a thorough examination of the historical and political context of key, critical moments in constitutional history and presidential power that makes possible opportunities for students to explore American politics in an interesting, memorable, and dynamic way. Each of the case studies reveals important dimensions of the constitutional order in the United Statesand enables readers to better grasp how executive power has shifted and expanded.
The book takes specific events, people, institutions, or ideas and places them in a broader context so that readers can observe patterns and make connections among seemingly disparate happenings and concepts relating to executive power. Accompanied by explanatory sidebars, the included primary sources let students examine actual documentary evidence of key elements of executive powerfor example, the presidential memorandum, the National Security cable, and the prisoners petitionand reach their own judgment of the implications of that document for the American political system.
- Covers topics such as Operation Pastorius, the Watergate scandal, the Iran-Contra affair, and drone strikes to show how each presented tests of presidential power
- Utilizes events and developments throughout U.S. historyfrom the nations founding to the contemporary erato demonstrate how these singular, focusing events are often reflections of broader political, economic, and social forces

Introduction
In 2003, after U.S. forces invaded Iraq, news outlets reported shocking evidence of the torture, abuse, and brutal treatment of prisoners held at a U.S. detention facility in Iraq called Abu Ghraib. In condemning the actions, President George W. Bush stated that the detainees treatment at Abu Ghraib was not consistent with U.S. policy. However, the human rights abuses appeared to many international organizations, such as Amnesty International and the Red Cross, to be reflective of a systematic pattern of abuse of detainees held by U.S. forces rather than isolated incidents. In response, Congress passed the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, a measure thatamong other thingsprohibited the cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment of detainees held by U.S. forces.
