Barbara Olshansky, a visiting professor in human rights at Stanford University, talked about how most presidents try to increase the power of the executive branch to implement their policies and how the three branches of government are affected by this shift of influence. She focused on the issue of how the country enters into war and how President Obama might handle the issue. The National War Powers Commission recommended that Congress repeal the War Powers Resolution of 1973 and substitute a new statute that would call for "more meaningful consultation between the President and Congress on matters of war." The talk "Expansion of Presidential War Powers" was given to the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth at Park City Club in Dallas.
