"POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY" PANEL DISCUSSION
Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Vermont
January 9, 2019, 7:00 p.m., Hayes Room, Kellogg-Hubbard Library, Montpelier, VT

Executive Power. Executive Expansion. Executive Overreach. Do we need to be concerned about concentrating too much power in the Presidency? Should we be worried about the use of executive orders to get around Congress? What are the limits to presidential authority? Checks and balances?

On Wednesday, January 9, at 7:00 p.m. in the Hayes Room at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, VT, a panel of scholars will delve deep into the U.S. Constitution to answer these and other questions as they deliberate on the powers of the presidency, a subject of much discussion since the election. Panelists include:

▪ Matthew Dickinson, Professor of Political Science, Middlebury College, who teaches courses on American politics, the presidency, and the politics of Congress.

▪ Lisa Holmes, Associate Professor of Political Science, UVM, who specializes in judicial politics, constitutional law, gender and law, and American politics.

▪ Peter Teachout, Professor of Constitutional Law, Vermont Law School, who is recognized for his expertise regarding constitutional law and history of Vermont and the United States.

Marilyn Blackwell of the League of Women Voters of VT will serve as Moderator. She is a writer and historian who worked at the Vermont Historical Society and taught history at UVM, Norwich University, and Community College of Vermont.

This event is part of the "Constitutional Crisis?" Speaker Series hosted by the LWV of VT and Kellogg-Hubbard Library. It is free of charge and open to the public. Registration is encouraged at the lwvofvt@gmail.com.
