no bull and the aftermath.

The Korean conflict often rooms in that story as one of presidential unilateralism as the

erosion of constitutional checks and imbalance in our constitution.

The Korean War also establishes some other important precedents, especially with regard

to war powers in the way the constitution operates during war.

I'm Benjamin Wittis and this is the LawFair podcast July 20, 2020.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War, which is last

I checked still going on.

The Korean War is often called the Forgotten War because we remember Vietnam so well,

we remember World War II so well and wedged in between is this conflict that we often overlook

and yet much of our contemporary international politics in East Asia is highly conditioned

by the Korean War.

The people of Korea continue to live with its aftermath both in the North and in the South

and the shadow of the Korean War looms large over one of the great debates we often have

on LawFair, which is the subject of war powers.

So we thought commemorating the 70th anniversary of the US entry into the Korean War would

be a really interesting little project we got together quite a panel to do it.
