What happens when a president pushes the edges of the rulebook—and the referees look away? In this joint episode of The Logical Lawyer and It’s That Part, Jesse Lee Hammonds and attorney Bernie Brown unpack where presidential authority ends and constitutional guardrails begin. From Congress ceding ground to lifetime federal courts, to the Supreme Court’s role as (sometimes) the final brake, they trace how norms can erode when silence replaces accountability. You’ll hear a grounded walk-through of “zones” of presidential power, why civil and religious leaders matter in moments of drift, and how deploying troops in U.S. cities tests both law and public psyche. The stakes are simple: democratic resilience or gradual normalization of executive overreach. Listen for a clear framework you can use to spot power plays in real time—and a call to engage locally, vote consistently, and hold institutions to their mandates. Press play and share with someone who cares about the Constitution.
