Chris Edelson is assistant professor of government at American University's School of Public Affairs. He practiced law in the District of Columbia, USA and New York, USA and served as state legislative director for the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C., USA.
"Edelson . . . lays down a foundation from which the current debate
about the powers of the presidency can be more clearly
understood."--Kirkus Reviews
"Chris Edelson has successfully tackled a big and controversial
topic with skill and grace. His balanced, fair-minded work is a
welcome addition to a literature on presidential power in times of
crisis that is often captured by partisans with a cause."--Michael
Genovese, author of Presidential Prerogative
