About this episode

Though the overturning of Humphrey’s makes the administrative state more directly accountable to voters through the President, rather than a “headless fourth branch,” giving its consolidated power to one person might prove just as dangerous. Joseph Postell, the Allison and Dorothy Rouse chair in Politics at Hillsdale College, joins this episode of Civitas Conversations to discuss executive authority after Trump v. Slaughter.
