George W. Bush: An Imperial President

Abstract: 8 pages in length. Defining the relationship that exists between political power and wartime policies is a task that draws its conclusion upon a very fine line. Indeed, while both of these entities have something significant to do with one another, at the same time they each possess their own particular arrangement amidst the wide and varied scheme of bureaucratic function. It can readily be argued that policy needs the combination of power and government in order to enact any level of politics; however, it can also be contended that there does not necessarily have to exist any sort of democratic considerations as a means by which to operate that government. Examining the elements that have brought George W. Bush's presidency to the level of imperial power at which it now resides helps one to gain a significantly better perspective upon what powers Congress upholds under the Constitution and what authority it has relinquished to the Executive Branch.
