The U.S. Constitution declares that the executive power shall reside in the President of the United States‚ and makes no mention of “executive departments”. It does go into detail about the structure or organization of the president’s branch of government. The framers of the Constitution knew what they wanted from the presidency‚ to include national leadership‚ statesmanship in foreign affairs‚ command in times of war‚ and enforcer of laws. They did not have a precise sense of how the office would

I have expressed my views about the Pakistan Supreme Court and its need to maintain judicial self restraint in articles published in this newspaper and elsewhere. However‚ in view of the turmoil currently prevailing in Pakistan‚ a clear elaborate enunciation of the philosophy of judicial restraint is called for. In a recent statement‚ the Chief Justice has said that it is the Constitution‚ not Parliament‚ which is supreme in the country. There is no controversy about this legal position‚ and indeed

Judicial Activism and Judicial Restraint are two different ways to interpret the constitution and its laws. Both interpretations have their own strengths and weaknesses‚ which is why it is so hard to come to a final decision of which is acceptable and which is not (in most cases). While at the debate I didn’t realize how many cases have boiled down to these two concepts
