2017 Annual Texas Chapters Conference
September 22-23, 2017
Texas Chapters Conference—The Executive Power Shall Be Vested in the President:
The Houston Lawyers Chapter invites you to join us for the third annual Texas Chapters Conference, which will focus on Executive Power. How powerful is the office of the Presidency under the law? Has the Executive Branch become more powerful in recent years? What scope of discretion does the Executive have in its role enforcing the law? Whether it is Executive action on immigration, states claiming overreach from the Executive Branch, or ethics in the White House, the role and power of the President and Executive Branch is the subject of fierce debate. Where debate over Executive power is often shaped by policy choices and political rhetoric, this conference examines the constitutional and statutory bases for Executive power, and the role of federalism, separation of powers, and ethics in constraining that power.
