Lame Duck Presidents and the Use of Unilateral Powers:
An Examination of Monument Proclamations

Abstract: An ongoing debate exists between scholars studying executive orders. Some scholars argue presidents use directives to circumvent Congress (Nathan 1983, Cooper 2002, Deering and Maltzman 1999) and other scholars argue that presidents use them to enhance their policy in conjunction with Congress in times of strong congressional support (Shull and Gomez 1997, Krause and Cohen 1997)

. This study applies the same theoretical debate to
the use of monument proclamations with a special emphasis. I argue that presidents strategically issue monument proclamations when they are politically the weakest, as lame duck presidents.
Paper Prepared for Delivery at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, Philadelphia, PA, August 27-31, 2003.
