Ingber, Rebecca
Abstract
In the spring of 2013, when the Islamic State, or "ISIS," was still an unknown entity to most Americans, the Senate Armed Services Committee called a hearing over the conflict with al Qaeda. The senators had two simple underlying questions for the executive branch officials before them, which surfaced often throughout the hearing: Who is the enemy, and how much power have we given the President to decide that question?
