The George W. Bush administration will long be remembered for its constitutional and legal arguments on behalf of exclusive and inherent executive power. In its extreme form, this uncompromising effort appears to have failed, and may even have pushed the judicial branch to limit executive authority and return to a more traditional insistence on interbranch cooperation in foreign affairs. Ironically, the Bush-Cheney legal legacy ultimately will depend on the Barack Obama administration's public commitments and legal arguments, but early evidence suggests that President Obama's assertions of executive power will rest less on assertions of constitutional prerogative, and more heavily on statutory delegation as well as long-standing judicial precedent.

WASHINGTON, May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Obama's insistence that his "hands are tied" by Congressional inaction on immigration has raised questions about how much executive power the President has when it comes to immigration. To this end, top immigration law experts, including former counsels to the agencies that manage immigration, have drafted a legal memo outlining the scope of executive branch authority and examples of its use in the immigration context. Ben Johnson, Executive Director of the American Immigration Council, noted upon release of the memo:
Nuclear power could very well displace a substantial piece of the coal-fired capacity," said Nick Akins, American Electric Power executive vice president for generation. While permanent waste disposal has not been resolved, many believe that storing waste on site, as U.S. utilities have done for years in anticipation of a consolidated, nationally run waste storage facility, is proving safe. [...] they say, nuclear power can provide more generation capacity more quickly for growing energy demands than cleaner renewable resources are expected to do any time soon.
