Episode 1: Who Checks the Executive?
In this kickoff episode of Battle of the Branches, Professor Will Baude explores the evolving power of the executive branch and asks whether Congress and the states still serve as meaningful checks. Joined by Professor Bridget Fahey and Associate Professor Ruth Bloch Rubin, the conversation dives into federalism, legislative oversight, and the real dynamics behind the separation of powers today.
