Thanks so much for the shoutouts! Independent regulatory structures have been with us since the founding. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... Trump’s unitary arguments are asking the courts to rewrite history and the Constitution.

1/ I spent 90 minutes talking to Akhil Amar on his podcast about impoundments and the congressional power of the purse. This is, in my view, hugely important. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Really glad we have a strong unitary executive theory in place to ensure a government of laws not men

My 2019 book, THE PUBLIC’S LAW, is finally out in paperback. Back then, I diagnosed the Schmittian turn in US Public Law, warning against a future “Weimar-on-Potomac.” Alas, here we are. Check it out to better understand our predicament and imagine better, Progressive democracy. a.co/d/7XieLB3

The unitary executive theory for an *unconditional* *absolute* presidential power to fire officers is a manufactured myth. I am ready w/ my amicus brief from SEC v. Jarkesy showing their anti-originalism & misuse of Founding-era sources. Who wants my help for free? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The effects could reach far beyond IGs if the Court takes issue with reason-giving requirements. Presidents of regional federal reserve banks who sit on the FOMC are also subject to reason-giving requirements upon removal by the Fed's Board of Governors. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
