Join with Independent Institute and The Committee for Responsible Foreign Policy for a special event!


Upcoming Event
You are cordially invited to attend the special event, "The Impact of War on the Presidency" ([link removed]) with Independent Institute Senior Fellow Ivan Eland ([link removed]) . The program is being hosted by The Committee For Responsible Foreign Policy in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, September 10.

Congress's abdication of power, especially during wartime, has enabled the Office of the President to grow beyond its constitutional limits. So argues Ivan Eland in his compelling new book War and the Rogue Presidency: Restoring the Republic after Congressional Failure ([link removed]) , recently published by the Independent Institute.
War and the Rogue Presidency is an in-depth examination of the history of the congressional-executive tug-of-war over U.S. security policy and why reclaiming constitutional standards is essential to restore both an effective national defense and civil and economic liberties. To get Congress to do that, Dr. Eland presents ways in which internal congressional incentives could be changed to provide motivation for legislative pushback.
