Making the Executive Great Again or a Great Abuse of Power? The Constitutionality of Trump’s Use of Executive Power

Adam J. White is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, writing on the Supreme Court and the administrative state. Jeffrey Lubbers is Professor of Practice in Administrative Law at American University, Washington College of Law where he has taught since 1996. He also directs George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School’s C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State. 

They will present a lecture titled “Making the Executive Great Again or a Great Abuse of Power? The Constitutionality of Trump’s Use of Executive Power.” They will ask questions like: Is Trump’s use of executive power the realization of the Founders’ vision of an energetic executive or does it represent the kind of consolidation of power in one pair of hands that Americans revolted from in 1776? Is Trump making the executive great again or greatly abusing its power?
