Indiana Law students can build their own plan of study by taking classes from a number of different areas, or they can choose an area of focus.
Description This seminar examines the constitutional allocation and separation of powers among the three branches of the national government, with a particular focus on the relationship between the President and Congress. Specific topics may include: What are the relative powers of the President and Congress in the areas of foreign affairs, military action and national security? May the President refuse to enforce unconstitutional laws? May Congress enact legislation based on constitutional views that differ from the Supreme Court's constitutional views? What are permissible forms of congressional oversight of the Executive, including limitations on the appointment and removal of executive branch officers, the legislative veto, the Independent Counsel Act, and presidential impeachment and removal? When may the President assert executive privilege and refuse to comply with requests for information from Congress or the courts? When are Presidents immune from civil lawsuits and criminal prosecution? (3 cr.)
