Abstract

Margit Cohn's 2021 book, I A Theory of the Executive Branch: Tension and Legality i , is an important study of executive branch behavior in the United States and the United Kingdom, common law jurisdictions with very different constitutional structures. My concern is the design of processes that are both technically competent and accountable to the public, over and above the obligation to satisfy clear statutory requirements.[5] Cohn accepts that both statutes and executive regulations may be acceptably clear, but she argues that they often are not. 6 Cohn, I supra i note 1, chapters 3 and 4, at 101-64. 7 Cohn, I supra i note 1, at 66-71. 8 Cohn, I supra i note 1, at 194-97.
