War Powers of the U.S. President in War Against Terrorism: A Case Study of President Bush's Military Order for November 13, 2001
Dobeš, Petr ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
The subjects of this thesis are the war powers of the U.S. President. The main theory of this work is that from the beginning of the 20th century, there is the trend of expanding presidential powers and a strong executive which peaked during the presidency of George W. Bush under the influence of extraordinary circumstances that had been in place after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. This theory will be proved by the case study of a Military Order of November 13, 2001 regarding Detention, Treatment, and Trial of Certain Non-Citizens in the War Against Terrorism issued by president George W. Bush and by the analysis of communication between certain members of the executive. This thesis seeks answers to questions whether the U.S. Constitution is able to cope with the threat of global terrorism, in what ways President Bush overstepped his constitutional authority and whether the presidency of George W. Bush could be regarded as a case of an "imperial presidency" as described by Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
