) No net benefit, Executive orders to reduce war powers would cost Obama political capital –
Healy 8 (Gene, Vice President of the Cato Institute, “New President Won’t Tame Executive Power” Cato Institute, October 14th 2008)
What motivated Obama’s flip-flop? Was it a desire to look “tough
AND
will be even more anxious than the current president to thwart the threat.”

Ex-os don’t solve
Swanson 9
David Swanson, Chair of accountability and prosecution working group of United for Peace and Justice, Op-Ed News, January 25, 2009, "Dangerous Executive Orders", http://www.opednews.com/articles/Dangerous-Executive-Orders-by-David-Swanson-090125-670.html

The Center for Constitutional Rights has expressed concern that President Obama's executive order banning torture
AND
the other violated laws for which no such formal orders have been given?

Congress key
1) Future presidential rollback
Harvard Law Review 12, "Developments in the Law: Presidential Authority," Vol. 125:2057, www.harvardlawreview.org/media/pdf/vol125_devo.pdf

The recent history of signing statements demonstrates how public opinion can effectively check presidential expansions
AND
practices. 147 Only time, and perhaps public opinion, will tell.

Anderson 13 (Kenneth Anderson is a professor of international law at American University and a member of the Task Force on National Security and Law at the Hoover Institution, June 2013, "The Case for Drones", https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/the-case-for-drones/)

Without a hardheaded effort on the part of Congress and the executive branch to make
AND
and Jack Goldsmith have repeatedly warned, they might well be miscalculating now.

2) Doesn’t solve signal
Sullivan ’13 (Andrew Sullivan, Obama’s War On Terror Speech: Reax II, http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/05/24/obamas-war-on-terror-speech-reax-ii/, Freddie deBoer wants more than words, May 24, 2013)

We have lived with this “war on terror” for a third of my
AND
if only in the ways that Obama says that he has constrained himself.

3) Law is key to modeling*
Maxwell ’12 (Mark David Maxwell, Colonel, Judge Advocate with the U.S. Army, TARGETED KILLING, THE LAW, AND TERRORISTS, Joint Force Quarterly, http://www.ndu.edu/press/targeted-killing.html, Winter 2012)

The weakness of this theory is that it is not codified in U.S
AND
eschews what gives a state its greatest safety: the rule of law.  

4) The counterplan HURTS Obama’s credibility- seen as continuing to circumvent Congress*
Goldsmith ’13 (Jack Goldsmith, Henry L. Shattuck Professor at Harvard Law School, where he teaches and writes about national security law, presidential power, cybersecurity, international law, internet law, foreign relations law, and conflict of laws. Before coming to Harvard, Professor Goldsmith served as Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel from 2003-2004, and Special Counsel to the Department of Defense from 2002-2003, “How Obama Undermined the War on Terror The President promised not to undercut the rule of law for expedience's sake. He did. Now we face the consequences”, http://www.newrepublic.com/article/112964/obamas-secrecy-destroying-american-support-counterterrorism, May 1, 2013)

Questions grew when the administration continued to withhold legal memos from Congress, and when
AND
for which he alone is today responsible, is increasingly viewed as illegitimate.
