"The National Security Constitution in the 21st Century" A Talk by Harold Hongju Koh
As the historic 2024 US Presidential election approaches, an important unasked question is: what constitutional powers will the President we elect lawfully exercise? Do checks and balances still apply in foreign affairs? Or does our current reading of the Constitution’s rules on foreign affairs and national security invite our President to become a national security threat? Harold Hongju Koh, Sterling Professor of International Law and former Dean at Yale Law School, has served in four US Presidential Administrations in the last five decades. He has recently updated his award-winning 1990 book “The National Security Constitution” to address these pressing questions, which should engage any concerned lawyer in the era of Ukraine, Gaza, pandemics, and climate change. Please join us for a fireside chat where Harold Hongju Koh will discuss his new book. The book will be available for purchase and signature. Lunch will be served from 12-12:45pm, and the program will begin at 12:45pm.
