Tue, 27 March 2007 Presidential Power in America: The Culpability of Congress This is the tenth and final session of a conference entitled Presidential Power in America: the Constitution, the Defense of a Nation, and the National Ethos, that was held at the Massachusetts School of Law in October of 2006. This session will explore the actions of the congress and how they have affected the expansion of the executive powers of the president. How can this situation of congressional abdication of power be rectified? In what ways is congressional power successfully checking presidential power? Participants include: Robert Spitzer, Lou Fisher, Michael Genovese and Chris Kelley.
