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 a nonpartisan nonprofit

chartered by Congress to increase awareness and understanding of the Constitution

among the American people. President Trump recently signed four executive actions related to COVID-19 relief.

And some have argued that in issuing these orders and memoranda, the president overstepped his constitutional authority.

Today we'll dive into whether or not these actions were legal or constitutional, with two of America's leading experts on constitutional and

administrative law.

Adam White is an assistant professor of law at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School, where he also directs the

C Boyd and Gray study for the center of the administrative state.

He's also a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and a public member of the

Administrative Conference of the United States. He co-wrote an article for

National Review with Yuval Levin on the recent executive actions called

the Return of Penn and phone constitutionalism.

Adam, it's great to have you back on the show.

Thanks, Jeff. It's so great to be here.

And David Supper is Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Law and Economics at Georgetown Law,

where his research focuses on administrative law, constitutional law, legislation, and more.
