Abstract
President Bush defined the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks as “acts of war.” His response was to promulgate policies, domestic and foreign, geared to protect against any future attacks against the United States. He urged swift passage of legislation that delegated vast new powers to the executive branch through the USA Patriot Act and two use‐of‐force resolutions, issued an executive order authorizing military tribunals, and announced a new national security strategy of preemption. These policies centralized power in the executive branch, and shifted it from Congress and the courts.
