Sumario:In "The Cavalier Presidency", Justin P. DePlato argues that executive emergency power undermines the normal processes of democratic republicanism and harms the rule of law. DePlato analyzes the theory of executive emergency power across a wide breadth of philosophical history and reviews seven U.S. presidencies, concluding that presidents are becoming increasingly reckless when determining and using power during crisis.
