To have a little that of time and with those overreaches with those powers and now you are presenting him as the Constitutional Order regarding president ial powers. What changed your view . How did you move from where you were before to what you have presented in your new book . It with your work on executive privilege this would be fun. I wasnt a supporter of his of the 2016 election and it worried me he was populist and it seemed designed to stop populist it was really anti democratic with the electoral college. So coming in as a populist to achieve an agenda to receive that mandate for to restrain to go beyond the constitutional restrictions on his power. And i urge them to use the president ial powers for National Security and Foreign Affairs to understand Domestic Affairs but his role but i found his critics because they think trump is so outrageous a large attack after attack on his legitimacy. His critics for examp

We are very fortunate today to have with us analysts including john yoo to discuss the constitution has fared during the Trump Administration. They will give brief remarks followed by moderating and then there will be plenty of time for questions from
