Kurt Anderson delves into the Logan Act, a law that prohibits ordinary citizens from engaging in negotiations with foreign governments. He points out that if this law had been enforced against Nixon, it might have prevented the Watergate scandal. This analysis sheds light on the intricate balance between legal constraints and the authority wielded by presidents. It underscores the importance of rules that govern presidential conduct while highlighting the considerable power vested in the executive branch.
