    Power shall be vested in a President of the United Statesv." But Scalia ignores the concomitant clause that states "Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departmentsvi" as well as the sweeping powers given to Congress through the Necessary and Proper provision. Necessary and Proper gives Congress the means to make laws concerning the execution of federal powers, so it can hardly be a violation of principle for Congress to decide a mode by which an executive power should be implemented. Scalia fails to realize that the abstruseness of the Constitution prevents a true formalist outcome, because any such inquiry would be an attempt to draw lines where there are none, and where none were meant be.…

    The United States Constitution created a structure for government that prevents any one branch of government from having too much power. While the framers of the Constitution were concerned with the abuse of power in terms of having too much of it, there were certain aspects of power that the document ignored. For example, the constitution prevents the President from doing what is beyond his scope, however it does not prevent unethical behavior that may be done so long at is part of his enumerated powers. The United States Supreme Court, the highest Court in the land, is given the power to interpret the law. However, there have been several times during this interpretation that while the Court has not reached beyond the scope of what it may do, they have made unethical decisions either by ignoring a previous precedent or allowing behavior that is morally unacceptable.…

    The powers of the President are listed in Article two, Section two of the Constitution and unlike the powers granted to Congress, the list of Presidential powers are short and vague. Before the original thirteen states declared independence from Britain, they were colonies ruled over by King George III. Although the colonists were taxed, they had no one to represent their needs in British parliament. This taxation without representation was a key factor in provoking the American Revolution, in which the newly formed union declared independence from Britain and the tyranny of the king. In order to prevent one person from having most of the power the framers of the Constitution gave legislative powers to Congress because the members were elected by the people but the framers recognized a need for quick, decisive action that Congress could not provide. “The historian Jack N. Rakove has…

    There two strong cases where the Supreme Court of the United States ruled Congress did not have the authority to act through their power of commerce. The first case is United States v. Lopez (1995), which involved the Gun-Free School Act of 1990. Congress decided it was in their authority to pass this act because it involved regulating interstate commerce in firearms. The Supreme Court struck down this Act because having a firearm in a school zone did not have a direct affect on interstates commerce. The second case was United States v. Morrison (2000), which involved the Violence Against Women Act of 1994.…

    In most Supreme Court cases, the majority opinion usually sets the precedence for future cases and the concurrence has little to do with precedence. However, in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer Justice Jackson’s concurrence creates a three-tiered system for contested Presidential acts. Each tier gives the Court a reasonable idea how to determine whether or not the President’s act was constitutional or not. The first tier is the President’s highest amount of power. It combines his actions and the actions Congress has delegated to him.…

    Understanding the relationship between the president and congress is key in understanding American politics. Congress and the president cannot avoid engaging with one another, with a constitutional set up that demands they work together constructively. Congress has its roles to play in policy making as does the president. The president and congress are given certain powers in the constitution, that power is divvied up, so that neither one of these branches has too much power at one time (Fisher 2007). The founders of the constitution were very distrustful of the presidency and feared if the president was given too much power it would lead to demagogy (Dickinson 2008).…
