Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper will examine several of the actions of President George W. Bush and argue that in his assertions of presidential authority he has pushed the boundaries of presidential power further than the Constitution allows. Four instances of President Bush�s claims to extraordinary presidential authority will be examined: his suspension of the Geneva Agreements in 2002, his denial of the writ of habeas corpus for detainees in the war on terror, his order that the National Security Agency monitor messages to or from domestic parties in the United States without a warrant, and his use of signing statements. The paper will conclude that the principles of constitutionalism and the rule of law are basic to the United States polity. Insofar as President Bush, in cases such as these, has refused to acknowledge the constitutional limits on his executive authority, he has undermined both of these fundamental principles.
