April Featured Events
Tariffs, Taxes, and the Rise of Presidential Power
Explore the shift in U.S. political dynamics, focusing on the decline of congressional oversight over tariffs and the rise of executive power, particularly during the Trump administration. Led by Dr. Mitch Sollenberger, this talk examines the factors that led Congress to move away from tariffs and how this reflects broader changes in the relationship between Congress and the president. We’ll also address the rise of “presidentialism” and the centralization of executive authority, highlighting how Trump’s presidency reshaped governing norms and public policy. Register here.
