• Why can presidents sometimes create executive orders that fundamentally change public policy, while other times appear completely impotent to political action?
• Where are the limits of institutional power considered unsettled?• Have presidents been using executive orders more often to get around Congress? If so, should we be
worried about this?• What are the limits of institutional power when it comes to recent issues such as travel bans, creating
national historical sites, environmental regulations, transgender participation in the military, DACA and other current issues?
The WIPPS and the Wisconsin Acad-
emy of Sciences, Arts and Letters are
proud to co-host an event featuring
experts on the Congress, the presi-
dency, and the Constitution. Panelists
will discuss the limits of institutional
power and how the relationship be-
tween the three has changed over
time, particularly in the 21st century.
A public Q & A will follow.
