(Courtesy of Intelligence Squared)With one major political convention down, another begins next week. In between, Colorado Matters presents a special debate from Intelligence Squared U.S., a debate series featured on NPR.
The question: Has the office of the president usurped the constitutional power of Congress? With executive orders and administrative regulations, it may seem the president, and not Congress, wields the most power. Four political minds weigh in, discussing the question in depth.
MOTION: The president has usurped the constitutional power of Congress
FOR: Michael McConnell, director, Constitutional Law Center and professor Stanford Law School; Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director, Judicial Crisis Network
AGAINST: Adam Cox, professor, New York University School of Law; Eric Posner, professor, University of Chicago Law School
