In the Trump era, many describe US politics as beset by political polarization, hyper-partisanship, and an imperial presidency. While such characterizations have some true to them, in this talk, Professor Tulis focuses attention on a deeper pathology at the root of all of them: congressional abdication of its own powers and duties.

Jeffrey Tulis ‘72, Professor of Government, University of Texas at Austin
