U.S.OFFICIALS DEFINE POLICY ON SEARCHES; Lawyers Assert President Still Has 'Inherent Authority' to Order Entries Without Warrants 'Concurrent Jurisdiction' 1978 Executive Order Cited No 'Foreign Connections' Found By ROBERT PEAR Special to The New York Times.

Great find!
Yes, that's the book someone posted. I've never heard of it, but then, I don't look for books on Carter. Looks like it might be a good read if you don't know anything about his presidency.
he is still a disgrace!
he helped ayatollahs ruin my country! he took our king from us.
...where I can say 'Thank-you' to Jimmy Carter.
I am ashamed of Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter couldn't even be Captain Obvious in form-fitting underpants.
