Jack Goldsmith on ABC News
October 15, 2024
ABC News’ Anne Flaherty spoke to Co-Chair Jack Goldsmith for a story on Insurrection Act reform:
Legal experts have proposed reforms to the Insurrection Act, including one proposal earlier this year by the American Law Institute.
“There is agreement on both sides of the aisle that the Insurrection Act gives any president too much unchecked power,” Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard law professor and former assistant attorney general in the Bush administration, said last April.
It’s unlikely, though, that such a sharply divided Congress would take up the issue any time soon.
