Eroding Presidential Boundaries
This chapter examines the evolution of the unitary executive theory and its roots in post-Nixon conservative legal thought. It discusses significant historical cases, especially the 1936 Supreme Court ruling in Humphrey's Executor, which upheld the independence of federal agencies against presidential control. The chapter also highlights contemporary concerns about potential Supreme Court decisions that could redefine the limits of presidential power and threaten the integrity of independent regulatory institutions.
