POS 383 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
In class today, Wednesday 11/16, I distributed two handouts: an article about the switching of views on executive authority with the switching of the party of the president, and an article about a recent D.C. Circuit case about the power of removal of the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). We then went through the cases assigned for today: Morrison v.Olson and NLRB v. Noel Canning (on the Presidential appointment power); Myers and Humphrey's Executor (on the power to remove); U.S. v. Nixon (on presidential privilege); Mississippi v. Johnson, Fitzgerald, and Jones (on presidential immunity from suit). We have no meeting next week (Thanksgiving break). When we reconvene on Wednesday 11/30, I plan to distribute Assignment #2. We'll begin our discussion of executive power with today's handout about the CFPB case. The additional reading for Wednesday 11/30 is to read in the text pp. 263 - 267 and 289 - 340.
