The Brown Daily Herald reported on a recent Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy and the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs event that sought to evaluate the Biden Administration's first 100 days, featuring insight from Interim Director of the A. Alfred Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy, Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs, and Visiting Professor of the Practice of Political Science Richard Arenberg, Professor of Political Science Corey Brettschneider, Royce Family Professor of Teaching Excellence in Political Science and Chair of Political Science Wendy Schiller, and Wilson Professor of International and Public Affairs and Political Science Margaret Weir.
Professor of Political Science Corey Brettschneider answers questions about his latest book, The Oath and the Office: A Guide to the Constitution for Future Presidents.
Professor of Political Science Corey Brettschneider provides commentary, "The fact that they have issued the subpoenas and have litigated all the way to the Supreme Court suggests that this is a very serious criminal investigation of the president."
“The worst that could happen is that people roll their eyes at the oath and they say, ‘Oh, none of them mean it,’ and I think what we’ve got to do at a time of crisis is exactly the opposite — is to say, this does mean something...When you break the law, you need to be held to account, and that’s what’s really up to the American people to be outraged when Trump does what he’s done,” comments Professor of Political Science Corey Brettschneider.
