We discuss whether executive orders can change the Constitution, the ongoing transformation of executive power, and the true intersection of the Constitution and democracy.
Julie’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
-
Get a pocket Constitution and read it over with a red pen!
-
Think about the kind of democracy you want to live in and decide how the Constitution will get us there.
