Join us for our April Third Tuesday on April 15th at the DOC House.
Our Third Tuesday speaker in April will be a Rodney A. Smolla, the President of the Vermont Law and Graduate School.
President Smolla will be giving a talk entitled The Constitution and the Presidency and will be providing an objective and neutral overview of the Constitutional Law doctrines governing two topics germane to the Presidency:
- The constitutional rules governing the promulgation of Executive Orders.
- The President’s “removal powers,” including the extent to which Congress may or may not restrict the presidential power to fire high-ranking officials in “independent” federal agencies.
Additionally, he was a member of a three-person team of lawyers who argued the case of Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News on appeal (representing Dominion), after which the case settled for $787 million in 2023.
