Exploring the Appointments Clause and Special Prosecutors
The chapter delves into the history of special prosecutors, from President Grant's first appointment in 1875 to the expiration of the independent counsel statute in 1999. It discusses the distinctions between special counsels and independent counsels, including the Supreme Court case Morrison v. Olson, and reflects on the potential risks and implications of giving special prosecutors excessive powers.
