Immigration: The Limits of Executive Authority

Federalism & Separation of Powers Practice Group Teleforum

The President, with much attention from the media and the public, announced executive action on immigration. Our discussion will address the specifics of the President’s actions, and the legality of those actions. What exactly was said and done by the President, and how do his actions differ from acts he previously asserted were beyond his unilateral power? Has the President exceeded his constitutional authority to act? What happens next?

• Margaret D. Stock, Counsel to the Firm, Cascadia Cross-Border Law
• Prof. John C. Yoo, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law, University of California Berkeley School of Law
