Drawing on constitutional design and key statutes like the Insurrection Act and the National Emergencies Act, this lecture will explore how presidents have historically used—and sometimes abused—emergency authority, and how Congress and the courts have responded or failed to respond.As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Donald Trump’s claims of emergency authority for mass deportations, domestic military deployment, and the use of force abroad raise pressing questions about whether the presidency is drifting toward the kind of unchecked power the framers associated with monarchs and tyrants.Professor Edelson, a lecturer in the political science department at UMass Amherst, previously taught for 16 years in the department of government at American University and has also taught at BU School of Law. He is the author of three books on presidential power, with a new volume forthcoming in March 2026. Edelson holds degrees from Harvard Law School and Brandeis University.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-making-an-american-monarch-emergency-powers-explained/100001984809295031 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, literary-art, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Flectures-on-tap-making-an-american-monarch-emergency-powers-explained-tickets-1984809295031 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Downtown Boston - **lat**: 42.3514653 - **long**: -71.0601767 - **full address**: Downtown Boston, Downtown Boston, Boston, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Felecia For The Win (https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/28a082389d83bf091f87a119ee53d707bb2c06f4d25ae7630ccc6327825fd00f-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0e1da-gmir.jpg?v=1774854414 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/bbf22435e431c731eb3de808eaae6249694615358542346525302aa639ae8b1b-rimg-w400-h400-dcdfe0d9-gmir.jpg?v=1774854414 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 03 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Downtown Boston, Downtown Boston, Boston, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 39.19 up to 39.19 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Felecia For The Win - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, fine-arts, literary-art, nonprofit - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Lectures on Tap - Making an American Monarch: Emergency Powers Explained ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Lectures on Tap - Making an American Monarch: Emergency Powers Explained", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/28a082389d83bf091f87a119ee53d707bb2c06f4d25ae7630ccc6327825fd00f-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0e1da-gmir.jpg?v=1774854414", "startDate": "2026-04-03T18:30:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-03T20:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-making-an-american-monarch-emergency-powers-explained/100001984809295031", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Downtown Boston", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Downtown Boston", "postalCode": "02111", "addressLocality": "Boston", "addressRegion": "MA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.3514653", "longitude": "-71.0601767" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in Boston bars.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-30", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-03T20:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-30", "lowPrice": "39.19", "highPrice": "39.19", "price": "39.19", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-making-an-american-monarch-emergency-powers-explained/100001984809295031" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-30", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-30", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-making-an-american-monarch-emergency-powers-explained/100001984809295031", "price": "39.19", "name": "Admission Ticket" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Felecia For The Win", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484", "description": "Felecia is a software engineer, content creator, and host with over 700k followers across her social media platforms.
