Prof. Osofsky Presents at Symposium on Congressional Dysfunction and Executive Power

Professor Hari Osofsky presented at the Association of American Law Schools Academic Symposium on "Congressional Dysfunction and Executive Lawmaking During the Obama Administration." During the second panel, entitled "The Obama Presidency and Federalism," law professors talked about whether President Obama's use of executive actions defies the principle of federalism by either intruding upon policy areas belonging to states or attempting to force state collaboration with the federal government. Topics included gun regulation, health care, LGBT rights, immigration policing, and the regulation of renewable energy and climate change. The panel was aired live on CSPAN2.
