    The constitutional balance of war powers has shifted from Congress to the president over time. Today, presidents broadly define their constitutional authority as commander in chief. In the nineteenth century, however, Congress was the institution that claimed and defended expansive war powers authority. This discrepancy raises important questions: How, specifically, did Congress define the boundaries between presidential and congressional war powers in the early republic? Did that definition change? 
     
     
     
    Casey Dominguez's Commander in Chief systematically analyzes the authority that members of Congress ascribe to the president as commander in chief and the boundaries they put around that authority. 
     
     
     
    Dominguez shows that for more than a century members of Congress defined the commander in chief's authority narrowly. But in a wave of nationalism during the Spanish-American War, members of Congress began to argue that Congress owed deference to the commander in chief. They also tended to argue that a president of their own party should have broad war powers, while the powers of a president in the other party should be defined narrowly. Together, these two dynamics suggest that the conditions for presidentially dominated modern constitutional war powers were set at the turn of the twentieth century, far earlier than is often acknowledged.

    Disclaimer: This is not the official book, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
    As you delve into our concise summary of Zinn's monumental work, you will navigate through the turbulent waters of America's history, encountering narratives of resistance, activism, and the fierce struggle for justice and equality. We uncover stories seldom told, spotlighting individuals and movements that challenged the status quo and fought valiantly against oppression and inequality. 
    Our summary accentuates Zinn's commitment to a history that is a source of inspiration, not just a recounting of past events but a living document that resonates in today's society. It challenges readers to question the accepted narratives and to understand that history is not just the story of the victors, but a tapestry woven with the countless stories of everyday people. 
    Join us in exploring a vibrant and starkly different perspective on American history, where the voiceless get a voice and the unsung heroes take the center stage. It is not just a recounting of history; it is a call to consciousness, an invitation to rethink the past, and to forge a future that is inclusive, just, and fair.

    It is time to draw our lines in the sand as Christians and Conservatives by engaging in public conversations with truth and conviction. 
     
      
     
    Kira Davis has built a brand on reaching out to the other side, on giving people space to be wrong, the space to discuss, the space to tolerate. Unfortunately, the people controlling the public conversations right now will have none of it. We're seeing the lengths they will go to and the lies they let stand in service of crushing 50 percent of this nation. They seek unity through complete elimination of the other side. There are times for compromise and times to draw a line in the sand; the latter has arrived. It is time to draw our lines as Christians and Conservatives.

    Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine 
    We are witnessing a systematic teardown of democracy worldwide. This book will help you make sense of the world, understand how this could happen, and consider what we can do as ordinary citizens to flip the script on authoritarians. 
    We are in a perpetual struggle between authoritarian rule and the enduring resilience of freedom, also known as Democracy. This resilience, this unwavering strength, is not just a concept but a beacon of hope that inspires us to fight for our freedom of choice. 
    Having peace of mind, understanding how the world works, and seeing real-world examples are priceless, as shown in this book. However, beware that the who, how, and what is being done to dismantle democracy is terrifying to learn. You need to start with a willingness to hold the knowledge; once you have it, there is no forgetting it and no turning back. In the last 80 years, Democracy, to date, has not offered up a defense. Hence, we have been slowly taken off course. We need to fortify our defenses and go on the offense. 
    President Ronald Reagan said it best: 
    "Freedom is a fragile thing, and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." 
    Here's a not-so-fun fact: you have a six times greater chance of being killed living under an authoritarian regime than you do living and fighting for Democracy (TUCCILLE, 2014). Reading this book will give you the same peace of mind and sense of purpose that we all long for. We have to have purpose in wanting to live free and safe. That must be our eternal focus because freedom is not a given.
