Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - Hamdi v. Rumsfeld - The Court's opinions

Though no single opinion of the Court commanded a majority, eight of the nine justices of the Court agreed that the Executive Branch does not have the power to hold indefinitely a U.S. citizen without basic due process protections enforceable through judicial review. Justice O'Connor wrote a plurality opinion representing the Court's judgment, which was joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Breyer and Kennedy. O'Connor wrote that although Congress had expressly authorized the detention of unlawful combatants in its Authorizat ...

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - Robert Bork - Bork as a verb

According to the New York Times, the verb to bork might be defined as "to destroy a judicial nominee through a concerted attack on his character, background and philosophy." [1] The best known use of the verb to bork occurred in July 1991 at a conference of the National Organization for Women in New York City. Feminist Florence Kennedy addressed the conference on the importance of defeating the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. She said, "We're going to bork him." [2] Thomas was subsequently confirmed after one of the nastiest ...

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - International influences on the development of the Constitution

To a small degree, historians disagree on the specific international influences on the development of the Constitution, possibly due to the variety of sources. Many argue that several of the ideas embodied in the Constitution were new, and that a large number of ideas were drawn from Classical Antiquity and the British governmental tradition of mixed government, which was in practice among 12 of the 13 states. Many historians do not specifically consider other sources, but the ideas advocated by the writings of Charles de Secondat, Baron de ...

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - Provisions for amendment

The authors of the Constitution were clearly aware that changes would be necessary from time to time if the Constitution was to endure and cope with the effects of the anticipated growth of the nation. However, they were also conscious that such change should not be easy, lest it permit ill-conceived and hastily passed amendments. Balancing this, they also wanted to ensure that an overly rigid requirement of unanimity would not block action desired by the vast majority of the population. Their solution w ...

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - The Constitution

The U.S. Constitution styles itself the "supreme law of the land." Courts have interpreted this phrase to mean that when laws (including state constitutions) that have been passed by state legislatures, or by the (national) U.S. Congress, are found to conflict with the federal constitution, these laws are ultra vires and have no effect. Decisions by the Supreme Court over the course of two centuries have repeatedly confirmed and strengthened the ...

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - Principles of government

Although the Constitution has been amended several times since it was first adopted, its basic principles remain the same now as in 1789. There are three branches of the national government—executive, legislative, and judicial—and they are separate and distinct from one another. The powers given to each are in theory balanced and checked by the powers of the other two. Each branch ideally serves as a check on potential excesses of the others. This is known as "separation of po ...

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - President of the United States - Inauguration and oath of office

From 1789 through 1933, Inauguration Day was March 4, for no particular reason than March 4, 1789, happened to be the day the first Congress convened under the new Constitution. Since 1937, with the ratification of 20th Amendment, the new President has been inaugurated at noon on January 20 after the election has been confirmed by Congress on January 3, the day when a new Congress convenes. The Chief Justice of the United States traditionally administers the oath of office, but the Constitution does not specify this as a requirementSee also:

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - History

During the Revolutionary War, the thirteen states first formed a very weak central government—with the Congress being its only component—under the Articles of Confederation. Congress lacked any power to impose taxes, and, because there was no national executive or judiciary, relied on state authorities (who were often uncooperative) to enforce all of its acts. It also had no authority to override tax laws and tariffs between states. The Articles required unanimous consent from all the states before they could be amended and states took t ...

Article Two of the United States Constitution: Encyclopedia II - NSA warrantless surveillance controversy - Editorials

With few exceptions, most major American newspapers condemned the president's actions. The language in some editorials was particularly strong. For instance, the Des Moines Register claimed that Bush "has declared war on the American people."[32] The (Nashville) Tennessean called the president's actions "reckless" and "frontier justice."See also:

Presidential elections are held every four years. Presidents are elected indirectly, through the Electoral College. The President and the Vice President are the only two nationally elected officials in the United States.

According to the Washington Post, four members of Congress were briefed on the surveillance, though more than four have stated that they were briefed. The Post interviewed former Democratic Senator Bob Graham, who stated that he "[had] no discussion about expanding [NSA eavesdropping] to include conversations of U.S. citizens or conversations that originated or ended in the United States... I came out of the room with the full sense that we were dealing with a change in technology but not policy." The Post further report ...

The letter gave no reason, but it is in apparent protest of the President's warrantless surveillance policy.(source) U.S. District Judge Dee Benson of Utah, also of the FISC, stated that he was unclear on why the emergency authority would not meet the administration's stated "need to move quickly", according to a report in the Washington Post.

News of tapping sparked an outcry from the general public, including members of Congress from both major parties, who feel such actions are a violation of constitutional rights. Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that "there is no doubt this is inappropriate" and "clearly and categorically wrong" and that he would hold hearings into the matter early in 2006.
