Description
The U.S. Constitution has undergone, and has survived, numerous challenges since its launch over 230 years ago. It is, however, being tested in new ways by the pandemic. This webinar will present an analysis of the constitutional issues that the country is confronting, including:
- How is emergency authority allocated between the federal government and the states?
- What are the limits on the powers of the presidency during times of crisis?
- How may the three branches of the federal government adapt to our new reality?
- Who minds the foreign policy store while the government is focused on domestic recovery efforts?
Join the School of Advanced International Studies for a presentation, followed by a lively discussion, with Steven M. Schneebaum, practitioner-in-residence and interim director of the International Law and Organizations Program, moderated by Nina Gardner, adjunct lecturer in the International Law and Organizations Program.
