Can the President Do That?
UNDERSTANDING EXECUTIVE POWER AND STATE PROTECTIONS
Recorded Tuesday, February 25
Many of us are wondering: Can the President do that? What actions can the President take without Congress? Can executive orders override the U.S. Constitution? And most importantly, how do Minnesota’s state and local laws protect our civil rights, voting rights, and environment from federal overreach?
University of Minnesota Law School Professor Alan Rozenshtein will break down how our federalist system balances power and how we can use state and local authority to safeguard an inclusive democracy. Michelle Witte, Executive Director, League of Women Voters of Minnesota, will moderate our discussion and also share specific ideas for action that we can all take to support our democratic institutions and protect vulnerable populations in our local communities.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how we can navigate and defend our rights in an evolving political landscape
