Wheatley Fellow Thomas B. Griffith is a speaker for a virtual event at the American Academy of Arts & Sciences on March 14.
What does it mean to be in a constitutional crisis, and are we in one now? How far can presidents act in the context of congressional inaction? What is the role of courts in evaluating the legality of executive action? To what extent can courts in this context declare the law and meaningfully constrain the president? The conversation will include perspectives on how these questions have been addressed throughout American history when courts have confronted forceful assertions of executive power.
We hope you can join us and welcome you to share this invitation with contacts who would benefit from the discussion.
