I'm Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, and welcome

to We The People, a weekly show of constitutional debate.

The National Constitution Center

is the only institution in America, chartered by Congress,

to disseminate information about the US Constitution

on a nonpartisan basis in order to increase understanding

and awareness of the US Constitution among the American people.

And in this episode, we address the question of the Constitution and the Administrative State.

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump ran on the platform of rolling back the Administrative

State, and since taking office, he has followed through on his promises signing executive

orders aimed at undoing previous executive orders issued by President Obama.

What will be the impact of the President's

regulatory agenda and is it consistent with the Constitution.

Joining us to discuss these important questions are two of America's

leading scholars of administrative law.

Daniel Hemmel is assistant professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School.

His research focuses on taxation, risk regulation, and innovation law. He served as visiting counsel at the Joint Committee on Taxation and blogs at Take Care.

And Karen Harne is Executive Director of the National Federation of Independent

Small Business Legal Center, a post she's held since 2002.

Before then, she was an attorney in Washington, D.C. and her organization, NFI NFIB was involved in litigation under the Affordable Care Act

in the important and memorably named En fib v Sebelius, which all we the people listeners should read and know about and

she's currently as involved in as an amicus in the NAM case for the Supreme Court.
