Goldsmith & Bauer: “What to Expect in Trump 2.0”
Co-Chairs Jack Goldsmith and Bob Bauer published an AEI piece, “What to Expect in Trump 2.0.” They write:
To understand how the presidency works—how the president organizes the executive branch, what he can accomplish with executive power, when he can act alone under Article II of the Constitution, when he needs Congress and the courts on board, and what he is forbidden to do—one must understand the law and norms that govern it. These are the issues Bob Bauer and I will be covering on Executive Functions.
The incoming Trump administration has big plans to disrupt and reconceive the federal government. What follows is an overview of some of the meatier topics one can anticipate during the first year of the second Trump presidency. This overview builds on my “quick list of important issues [during Trump 2.0] where executive power is likely to be pushed hard, rethought, resisted, and/or, when possible, litigated.”
