  • The Nixon Theory of the War Power: a Critique
    California Law Review VOL. 60 MAY 1972 No. 3 The Nixon Theory of the War Power: A Critique Francis D. Wormuth* On March 11, 1966, the Legal Adviser of the State Department, Leonard Meeker, submitted to the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela- tions a memorandum that, despite its brevity, proved to be the fullest statement ever made of the legal case for the initiation of war in Viet- nam by President Johnson.' He offered several arguments. The framers of the Constitution had qualified the war clause. They in- tended that the President be free to repel sudden attacks upon the United States without Congressional authorization; with the shrinking of the globe this exception had grown into a power to repel an attack on any country, even one halfway around the earth, if he considered this necessary to safeguard American interests. One hundred twenty- five historic cases of unauthorized executive use of military force sup- plied validating precedents for Johnson's action. The Tonkin Gulf Resolution authorized the President to make war at will in Southeast Asia. The SEATO Treaty authorized him to defend Southeast Asia against Communism. And, finally, by passing appropriation acts, the Congress had endorsed the war. President Nixon, even while withdrawing troops from Vietnam, has continued to commit more troops in smaller numbers. Similarly, he has withdrawn some of the legal justifications adduced by Meeker but has advanced others to replace the arguments that have been re- * Professor of Political Science, University of Utah.

CLEVELAND & WILLIAM S. DODGE Defining and Punishing Offenses Under Treaties ABSTRACT. One of the principal aims of the U.S. Constitution was to give the federal gov- ernment authority to comply with its international legal commitments. The scope of Congress's constitutional authority to implement treaties has recently received particular attention. In Bond v. United States, the Court avoided the constitutional questions by construing a statute to respect federalism, but these questions are unlikely to go away. This Article contributes to the ongoing debate by identifying the Offenses Clause as an additional source of Congress's constitutional authority to implement certain treaty commitments. Past scholarship has assumed that the Arti- cle I power to "define and punish... Offences against the Law of Nations" is limited to custom- ary international law.

Investors are anxiously waiting for the start of second quarter earnings, which kick­off today with results scheduled from JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup. Bank earnings were very strong last quarter, but several insiders believe major banks are actually going to see a decline in year­ over­year earnings in the second­quarter. Some reasons cited for the gloomy outlook include decreased trading revenues amid the extremely low volatility witnessed in bond and equity markets over that time period. I personal don't see big bank earnings being impacted and remain bullish the banking sector. For the S&P 500 Index as a whole, total Q2 earnings are expected to be up +5.6% from the same period last year on +4.5% higher revenues.

  • United States V. Klintock: Reconsideration of United States V. Palmer As to General Piracy As Defined
    FOREWORD Title United States v. Klintock: Reconsideration of United States v. Palmer as to General Piracy as Defined by the Law of Nations through the Applicable Standards of Political Action of Acknowledgement and Recognition and the Status of Statelessness. Author Justin L. Sieffert Document Type Article Publication Date December 2016 Keywords 1820, Piracy, General Piracy, “Law of Nations,” Privateer, Pardon. Abstract During the February 1820 Term, the Supreme Court of the United States decided four significant piracy cases, beginning with United States v. Klintock. Political, economic, and social pressures enhanced the problem of piracy affecting the interests of the United States. Responding to the criticism of his decision in United States v. Palmer and the passage of the Act of 1819 state Congressional intent for defining piracy by the “law of nations,” Marshall authored the decision in Klintock distinguishing Palmer and, upon reconsideration, interpreting the Act of 1790 to include general piracy as defined by the “law of nations.” With a broader interpretation, federal courts had the jurisdiction to consider cases of general piracy regardless of the character of the vessel or nationality of the offender if the vessel operated under the flag of an unacknowledged foreign entity and if an American interest was at issue. While serving as the foundation for the final three piracy cases to endure broad enforcement authority over piracy, the story of Klintock did not end with the decision. An internal controversy over missing evidence in the case due to an alleged conspiracy implicated other parties in the piracy and demonstrated the internal policies and political considerations Monroe administration in the aftermath of the piracy cases.

The Courts and Foreign Affairs at the Founding Kevin Arlyck∗ INTRODUCTION In 1793 the Washington administration had a problem. Revolutionary France had recently declared war against Great Britain and several other European powers; what had formerly been a land- based conflict for continental supremacy was now spilling across the Atlantic. As the United States was both militarily weak and economically vulnerable, maintaining neutrality in the expanding conflict was the administration’s top priority. The belligerents were not cooperating. Claiming that treaties dating to the American Revolution gave France the right to license and arm private military vessels in the United States, French officials launched a wave of maritime attacks against British commerce from American shores. In response, Britain insisted that the United States, as a neutral nation, had an obligation to stop such predations and restore captured property to its owners—or face retaliation.
