Dean Melanie Leslie’s Office

Join Dean Leslie and Professor Michael Herz to discuss presidential executive orders. On Inauguration Day, President Trump revoked 78 existing executive orders in one fell swoop and started signing new ones at a frenetic pace. There has never been quite such an attention-getting spree of these directives. Executive orders are not new; every President since George Washington has issued them. But they are often misunderstood. Professor Herz will discuss the history, nature, and effect of executive orders. The two will also answer questions raised by student attendees.
