Presidential Powers
HAS BUSH EXCEEDED CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS ON HIS PRESIDENTIAL POWERS?
FindLaw Columnist John W. Dean

FindLaw columnist and former counsel to the president John Dean discusses a recent panel that focused on the question whether the Bush Administration has exceeded the constitutionally-mandated scope of president powers. Dean focuses, in particular, on the contentions of two speakers, who represented the two sides of the political spectrum: Liberal New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis, and conservative former Bush Administration attorney Patrick Philbin. Dean explains why he found Philbin's arguments unpersuasive -- and outside the mainstream of expert opinion on the issue.
