- Authors
Hollis-Brusky, Amanda
- Abstract
The article presents a historical review of the political and intellectual investments made in the unitary executive theory (UET) of U.S. constitutional law between 1981 and 2000, focusing on the use of the UET by U.S. presidents as a means of reducing the restrictions placed on presidential power. The U.S. Supreme Court and Justice Antonin Scalia's interpretation of the UET is examined in light of his dissenting opinion in the case Morrison v. Olson.
