Casey B. K. Dominguez

Casey B. K. Dominguez, a Political Science professor at the University of San Diego, delves into the contentious balance of war powers between Congress and the president. She uncovers how the interpretation of 'commander in chief' evolved from a limited authority to a more expansive one, shaped by nationalism during the Spanish-American War. Dominguez critiques how racial and cultural narratives have influenced U.S. military oversight and discusses the implications of partisanship on contemporary interpretations of the Constitution.
