Respect for the Constitution and joint action with Congress provide the strongest possible signal to both enemies and allies. By following those principles, other countries understand that U.S. policy has a broad base of support and is not the result of temporary, unilateral presidential actions that divide the country and are likely to be reversed. National security is strengthened when Presidents act in concert with other branches and remain faithful to constitutional principles.

 

In periods of emergency and threats to national security (perceived or real), the rule of law has often taken a backseat to presidential initiatives and abuses. Although this pattern is a conspicuous part of American history, it is not necessary to repeat the same mistakes every time. Faced with genuine emergencies, there are legitimate methods of executive action that are consistent with constitutional values.
