After Trump - March 16 and 23, 2021

After Trump: Reconstructing the Presidency

Sponsored by the American Constitution Society

Join ACS for a two-part conversation drawing from Bob Bauer and Jack Goldsmith's book After Trump: Reconstructing the Presidency on what reforms are necessary to address the excesses of executive authority and absence of accountability that the Trump presidency exposed. The first session on March 16th will focus on the office of the presidency and what reforms are needed to protect it from a rogue president -- how to prevent foreign influence in our elections, financial entanglements, and ensure that statutes like the Insurrection Act and National Emergencies Act aren't misused. The second session on March 23rd will focus on the Department of Justice (DOJ) and how to ensure that the Department can pursue the impartial administration of justice. Discussion will focus on how to investigate a president (or president-elect) who threatens our national security, DOJ independence, and reforms to how the DOJ and White House interact, including the respective roles of the Office of Legal Counsel and White House Counsel.

Speakers:

Bob Bauer, Professor of Practice and Distinguished Scholar in Residence at NYU Law; former White House Counsel to President Obama
Jack Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard Law School; former Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice
