As part of the Hoover Institution’s Initiative on Regulation and the Rule of Law, this conference, hosted by Allan Meltzer and Ken Scott, examines the critical issues for a government, founded on the separation of powers, to operate in an effective and legal manner, drawing from recent examples of the expansion of presidential executive authority to make law.
