About this event
Trump 2.0 and the Survival of the American Constitutional System
Tuesday, April 22
4:00-5:00 pm via Zoom
Open to Everyone
Our speaker is Michael L. Mezey, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at DePaul University in Chicago, and author of five books. Michael is a resident of Friendship Heights and an FHNN volunteer.
He will discuss how the general understanding of the constitutional arrangement of shared powers between the President and the Congress has, he believes, been challenged during the early months of the second Trump Administration. Dr. Mezey also believes that Trump’s assertion of executive power exploits the ambiguities in the constitutional design of the presidency, exposes the fragility of the checks on executive tyranny that the Founders believed that they had created, and calls into question the commitment of the American people to our constitutional system.
This is an FHNN event, open to everyone, as part of our collaboration with Little Falls Village. The link will be sent several days before the program.
