About this event
Join us for a compelling and timely conversation on the growing power of the presidency and the state of our democracy, featuring two of the nation’s leading legal minds.
In the past few months, you might have wondered how far Executive Powers reach and you are not alone. Other League members and leaders are curious to learn too. We are offering an opportunity for us to gather and listen to two of the nation's leading legal minds discuss the topic.
The speakers are Pamela S. Karlan (Professor of Public Interest Law and Co-Director, Supreme Court Litigation Clinic at Stanford University) and David L. Sloss (John A. and Elizabeth H. Sutro Professor of Law at Santa Clara University).
What will be discussed:
- What exactly is executive power—and what did the Constitution intend?
- How have recent executive actions tested the limits of presidential authority?
- Where are the checks and balances? Are they working?
- What role have the courts played in reining in (or enabling) executive overreach?
- Can the concentration of executive power be stopped? How big is the threat to our nation?
This event will be held at the Quinlan Community Center in Cupertino on September 9 from 7 - 9 PM.
