The Declaration Of Independence And Constitutional Interpretation, Alexander Tsesis 2016 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

The Declaration Of Independence And Constitutional Interpretation, Alexander Tsesis

Faculty Publications & Other Works

Animal Farm: The E.U.'S Move Towards Progress And The U.S.'S Slide Towards Dystopia In Farm Animal Welfare, Dorothy Sluszka

Political Dysfunction And The Election Of Donald Trump: Problems Of The U.S. Constitution's Presidency, David Orentlicher 2016 University of Nevada, Las Vegas -- William S. Boyd School of Law

Political Dysfunction And The Election Of Donald Trump: Problems Of The U.S. Constitution's Presidency, David Orentlicher

Scholarly Works

In this article, Professor Orentlicher examines the Constitution's design for the executive branch. He argues that by opting for a single executive rather than a multi-person executive, the Constitution causes two serious problems-it fuels the high levels of partisan polarization that we see today, and it increases the likelihood of misguided presidential decision making. Drawing on the experience in other countries with executive power shared by multiple officials, he proposes a bipartisan executive.
