Revisiting Watergate: Crisis, Renewal, and the Presidency

Thu, September 5, 10:00 to 11:30am, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, 411

Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel

Session Description

As many post-Watergate reforms turn fifty years old, we revisit how well several reforms have performed their intended purposes. We look specifically at emergency powers (Chris Edelson), war powers (Nancy Kassop), the federal budget (Jasmine Farrier), executive privilege (Kevin Baron), and executive branch oversight (Katy Harriger) to determine whether these reforms ever worked, continue to work, or need to be replaced. This discussion has important implications for the separation of powers, democracy, and the rule of law.
