Dear We the People, Friends and Listeners, I'm thrilled to share with you that this week,

the National Constitution Center elected a new honorary chair.

Justice Neil Gorsuch will succeed Vice President Joe Biden as the Honorary Chair of the National

Constitution Center. We're so grateful to both Justice Gorsuch and Vice President Biden

for working with us to advance our crucially important

nonpartisan mission of promoting civics and civility of which this We The People Podcast is such a central part.

I'm Jeffrey Rosen,

president CEO of the National Constitution Center, and welcome to We The People, a weekly show of constitutional debate. The National Constitution Center is a nonpartisan nonprofit chartered by Congress to increase awareness and understanding of the Constitution among the American people.

Today we explore the question of constitutional crisis

and whether the President's announced decision to resist all the subpoenas has

created a conflict between the executive branch and Congress that might add up to a constitutional crisis or not.

And joining us to discuss this crucially important constitutional question are two of America's

most thoughtful commentators about the Constitution.

Both have written really illuminating stuff

about the broad and detailed questions

that we're going to be discussing.

Keith Whittington is the Wilson-Nelson-Cromwell Professor of Politics at Princeton University.

He's the author of many works on American constitutional theory, the presidency, and Congress,

including constitutional construction

construction, divided powers, and constitutional meanings.

He's currently working on a book about constitutional crises

entitled constitutional crises real and imagined.
