JLPP Symposium 10-7

Presidential Powers: Prudence or Perversion?

The St. Thomas Journal of Law & Public Policy is proud to host a symposium that brings together some of the nation's most eminent legal scholars on the subject of the President's constitutional powers.

Questions of the scope of the President's powers are more urgent than ever. Among these question is that of finding the true balance between the President's duty to protect the lives and safety of the nation's citizens from catastrophic attacks and the no less imperative duties to respect the prerogatives of Congress and to operate within the limits established by the Bill of Rights.
