'''Unitary executive theory''' is a model of executive power proposed by constitutional law experts and neoconservative intellectuals such as [[Steven G. Calabresi]], [[John Yoo]] and [[Harvey C. Mansfield]]. It argues that all executive power is derived from the presidency and thus that all executive action must be consistent with the power of the office of the unitary executive.

Mansfield]]. It argues that all executive power is derived from the presidency and is inherently granted by the Constitution, ignoring important features such as the ability of other branches to check, balance, and ultimately limit a president should he be out of control.<ref>[https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/obama-and-the-risk-of-unchecked-presidential-power Obama And The Risk Of Unchecked Presidential Power]</ref>  For example, a unitary president could use executive orders as a way to get around congress, disrespecting constitutional jurisprudence.<ref>[http://humanevents.com/2014/01/27/the-unitary-executive-becomes-a-singularity/ The Unitary Executive becomes a singularity]</ref>

The theoretical basis of the model stems from two clauses in the [[Constitution]]:  

*The "Take Care" clause:"The President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed..."

*The "Take Care" clause: "The President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed..."

*The "Vesting" clause:"the executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."

*The "Vesting" clause: "the executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."

Based on these clauses it then becomes evident that all laws must be consistent with the power of the unitary executive. If a law is made that places restrictions on this power, those restrictions must themselves be imposed by the executive branch on itself.
