Casto examines the president’s war powers through the lens of two specific cases and their applications to modern day crises. In Neagle, Casto finds a “strong precedent for unilateral presidential power,” especially when compared to the precedential value of Durand, which Casto finds lacking due to its promotion of unchecked presidential power. Casto uses the 1980 Iran Hostage Crisis and the 1992 forced humanitarian aid operation in Somalia to illustrate just how unsavory unchecked presidential war power can be.
