War Powers History You Never Knew with Matt Waxman
b'
For the past year, Matt Waxman has been writing Lawfare vignettes about interesting\\u2014and usually overlooked\\u2014historical episodes of American constitutional war powers in action, and relating them to modern debates. These include the stories of St. Claire\\u2019s Defeat and the Whiskey Rebellion during the Washington administration, congressional war powers and the surprisingly late termination of World War I, the proposed Ludlow Amendment during the interwar years, and Eisenhower\\u2019s Taiwan force authorization.
Ben Wittes invited Matt on the podcast to talk about them and how they fit together into a book broader project he\'s embarking on. If you\\u2019re tired of hearing the usual war powers debates, listen in. And even if you think you know a lot about constitutional war powers, you\\u2019ll learn a lot.
