Democracy’s Chief Executive: The Podcast is designed to engage a broad public in probing the difficulties facing the United States in maintaining a constitutional presidency that is healthy for democracy and the rule of law, but still strong and powerful enough to meet contemporary challenges. Over six episodes, podcast creator and host Peter M. Shane, along with his co-hosts and guest panelists, will explore law’s reach and limits regarding the America’s highest office, and the people—lawyers, judges, and legislators—through whom law is brought to bear (or not) on the White House. Peter is a leading scholar on law and the presidency and author of Democracy’s Chief Executive: Interpreting the Constitution and Defining the Future of the Presidency (2022).
