Abstract

This paper examines the purported rationales and justifications--legal and otherwise--for presidential domination of American foreign policy. It also examines the impact on the nation of executive abuse of power. It is argued here that the Machiavellian trajectory of presidential power jeapordizes American constitutionalism and undermines national security interests. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
