Can the chief executive release a nuclear attack without congressional approval? Could it be ever a criminal offense to criticize the president? Can states lawfully resist a president’s professional purchase? Corey Brettschneider will take us on a deep dive into the U.S. Constitution to response questions that, in our tumultuous era, Americans are asking more than ever before. Through the document itself and from history’s pivotal courtroom cases, we learn why specific powers were granted to the presidency, the way the Bill of Rights limitations those power, and what ‘we the people’ can do to influence the country’s highest open public office-including, if you need to, removing the person in it. Brettschneider breathes new life in to the Constitution’s content and amendments, stressing its essential concepts and illustrating their relevance to all or any our lives today. The Oath and the Office empowers visitors, voters, and future presidents to read and understand our nation’s founding record.
