Turning away from the partisan narratives of everyday politics, Constitutional Dysfunction on Trial diagnoses the deeper and bipartisan nature of imbalance of power that undermines public deliberation and accountability, especially on war powers. By focusing on the lawsuits brought by Congressional members that challenge presidential unilateralism, Farrier provides a new diagnostic lens on the permanent institutional problems that have undermined the separation of powers system in the last five decades, across a diverse array of partisan and policy landscapes. As each chapter demonstrates, member lawsuits are an outlet for frustrated members of both parties who cannot get their House and Senate colleagues to confront overweening presidential action through normal legislative processes. But these lawsuits often backfire - leaving Congress as an institution even more disadvantaged. Jasmine Farrier argues these suits are more symptoms of constitutional dysfunction than the cure. Constitutional Dysfunction on Trial shows federal judges will not and cannot restore the separation of powers system alone. Fifty years of congressional atrophy cannot be reversed in court. 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power$zUnited States 606 $aExecutive-legislative relations$zUnited States 606 $aJudicial power$zUnited States$xCases 606 $aLegislative power$zUnited States$xCases 606 $aExecutive power$zUnited States$xCases 606 $aSeparation of powers$zUnited States$xCases 610 $aconstitution, congress, president, court, war powers. 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power 615 0$aExecutive-legislative relations 615 0$aJudicial power$xCases. 615 0$aLegislative power$xCases. 615 0$aExecutive power$xCases. 615 0$aSeparation of powers$xCases. 676 $a342.73/044 700 $aFarrier$b Jasmine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01487773 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793842003321 996 $aConstitutional Dysfunction on Trial$93707764 997 $aUNINA
