Lexis)
III. The Power of the Purse… control over limited wars.
Bush’s use of “emergency” appropriations circumvents congressional checks and balances and allows the executive to unilaterally make limited wars unlimited in duration—it’s a precedent and practice future president’s will follow Ackerman and Hathaway, Yale Law School Professors, 11 (Bruce and Oona, “LIMITED WAR AND THE CONSTITUTION: IRAQ AND THE CRISIS OF PRESIDENTIAL LEGALITY,” Michigan Law Review, February 2011, p.
