James Stoner: The War Power, the Executive Power, and the Rule of Law
Event Details
The Citadel’s School of Humanities & Social Sciences will host two on-campus events related to its Second Annual Celebration of Constitution Day.
The first is a lecture entitled "The War Power, the Executive Power, and the Rule of Law”.
Political philosopher and American constitutional law theorist, Dr. James Stoner, will be presenting this timely lecture. This theme will have a special poignancy on 9-11 and at a time when renewed turmoil in the Middle East with ISIS in Syria combined with what is happening in Eastern Europe between Russia and the Ukraine raise speculation about possible U.S. military action in one or both regions.
Stoner has said that contemporary disputes about "who ought to exercise war powers (in contemporary times) cannot be settled without revisiting the question of what war is and when it can legitimately be undertaken. Law and justice, in other words, serve not only to constrain war, but also to give it purpose and effect.”
His presentation will take place at 7 p.m.
