Professor Kitrosser Quoted in The Atlantic magazine on presidential powers

Professor Kitrosser was quoted in an article in The Atlantic magazine entitled "The Most Remarkable Thing About Trump's Proposed National Emergency." She explains that the conditions for presidential abuses of power, such as norms of unilateral presidential action and very broad congressional delegations, have been present for a long time, and that we are now seeing them exploited even more so than in the past. The article's last lines state, for example:  “'The seeds of this problem are multifold, and they’ve been in the ground for quite a while,'” Kitrosser says. “'With the Trump presidency, we’re primed for them to really come to fruition.'”
