Book excerpt: In their stimulating book, "'A Great Power of Attorney': Understanding the Fiduciary Constitution," Professors Gary Lawson and Guy Seidman argue that: (1) the Constitution of the United States is a power of attorney, or at least usefully analogized to a power of attorney; (2) although the United States of America is a legal corporation, the Constitution of the United States is not a corporate charter; and (3) the Necessary and Proper Clause is best understood as a narrow incidental powers clause. In this commentary, I dispute all three claims and explain why I believe Lawson and Seidman are mistaken about them.
