Absent war or economic calamity, however, no president has exercised executive power as vigorously as has President Trump particularly during his second administration. An aggressive reading of what is known as the unitary executive theory underpins many of President Trump’s actions. The Roberts Court consequently has grappled with momentous issues of separation of powers. The panelists to the 2026 Drake Constitutional Law Symposium were asked to discuss the unitary executive theory, separation of powers, and what developments in executive power might portend for the American experiment in self-government.Speakers:, Associate Professor of Law at Washington University School of Law, Charles I.
