""Dominguez has produced groundbreaking work on the changing relationship between the political branches in the realm of war. Using the unique prism of nineteenth and twentieth century congressional debates about the Commander in Chief clause, she demonstrates how members of Congress used to act as a constraint on executive war making and this has given way to deference. Through her rigorous investigation we have clearer proof that presidents started collecting more power into their branch during the Spanish American War.""— Sarah Burns, author of The Politics of War Powers: The Theory and History of Presidential Unilateralism
