David Rivkin, Constitutional Attorney and Media Commentator

Does the president have the power to start a war?

War has long been the subject of vigorous debate. The United States Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war and appoints the president as commander-in-chief of the military. When it comes to war, who holds the power to ultimately decide the actions of the United States? Gene Healy, vice president at the Cato Institute; David B. Rivkin Jr., partner at BakerHostetler; and Margaret L. Taylor, governance studies fellow at the Brookings Institution will discuss in this episode: does the president have the power to start a war?

This podcast comes as part of Project Sphere, a collaboration between the Cato Institute and the Brookings Institution .
