Louis Fisher focuses on the Constitutional issue of the war power, a topic that goes to the heart of what the framers thought they were creating: a republican form of government that broke with monarchical war models. In contrast to old-world theories, the American republic vested foreign affairs and the war power not in the U.S. president but in the people, who through regular elections expected Congress to make the ultimate decision on taking the nation to war against another country.

Louis Fisher is a specialist in constitutional law with the Law Library of the Library of Congress. From 1970 to 2006, he was senior specialist in separation of powers with the Congressional Research Service. He received his PhD from the New School for Social Research in 1967, taught for three years at Queens College, and has taught at a number of other universities and law schools since that time. He has testified more than forty times before congressional committees on a range of institutional and constitutional issues. His books include Presidential War Power, 2d ed. (Lawrence: University of Kansas, 2004); In the Name of National Security (Lawrence: University of Kansas, 2006); American Constitutional Law, 7th ed. (with David Gray Adler) (Durham: Carolina Academic Press, 2007); The Politics of Executive Privilege (Durham: Carolina Academic Press, 2004); Military Tribunals and Presidential Power (Lawrence: University of Kansas, 2005); and Nazi Saboteurs on Trial, 2d ed. (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2005). He has published more than 350 articles in books, law reviews, political science journals, encyclopedias, magazines, and newspapers.
