This document is a legal memorandum from Assistant Attorney General Walter Dellinger regarding the President's constitutional authority to decline enforcement of a law believed to be unconstitutional, even after signing it. The analysis relies on legal precedent, including the Myers case, and historical examples from Presidents Eisenhower and Roosevelt.
