Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

SIDESTEPPING CONGRESS: PRESIDENTS ACTING UNDER THE UN AND NATOt Louis Fisher' The most striking transformation of the war power over the past fifty years is the extent to which Presidents seek authority not from Congress but from international and regional institutions, particularly the United Nations and the North Atlantic Council. Although this pattern violates the U.S. Constitution and the legisla- tive intent of the UN and NATO, and represents an effort through the treaty process to strip from the House of Representatives its constitutional role in matters of war, the trend is unmistakable and continues its course with little interruption from Congress or the courts. Truman in Korea, Bush in Iraq, Clinton in Haiti and Bosnia-in each instance a President circumvented Congress by relying either on the UN or NATO. President Bush also stitched together a multilateral alliance before turning to Congress at the eleventh hour to obtain statutory authority.

    No. In the Supreme Court of the United States JAMES ROSEMOND, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES, Respondent. On Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari To The United States Court Of Appeals For The Second Circuit PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI MICHAEL RAYFIELD Counsel of Record LUC W. M. MITCHELL MAYER BROWN LLP 1221 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020 (212) 506-2500 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner QUESTION PRESENTED In McCoy v. Louisiana, 138 S. Ct. 1500 (2018), this Court held that the Sixth Amendment grants criminal defendants a right to “autonomy” that permits them to “maintain innocence” and precludes their lawyers from conceding to “criminal acts” over their objection. Id. at 1509. Defendants have the right “to avoid * * * the opprobrium that comes with admitting” criminal acts and “to make fundamental choices about [their] own defense.” Id. at 1508, 1511. Since McCoy was decided, federal and state courts have struggled to define the contours of the right to autonomy. A minority, including the Second Circuit in the decision below, has held that this right is violated only when an attorney unilaterally concedes guilt; here, the Second Circuit affirmed the petitioner’s murder-for-hire conviction where his lawyer conceded, over his objection, that he ordered his associates to shoot (but not kill) the victim. Other courts have held that a lawyer may not unilaterally concede any element of an offense—even elements like the location of the crime. A third group of courts has taken a middle approach, holding that the right to autonomy encompasses certain elements of an offense, like the actus reus, but not elements that are arguably less central to a conviction.
