Seminar
From Checks and Balances to Imperial Presidency: Project 2025 and the Threat to U.S. Democracy under Trump
Christian Lammert
Comments
Focusing on the critical moments shaping U.S. democracy in the early 2020s, this seminar scrutinizes the erosion of constitutional checks and balances in the context of the Trump administration's political actions, including the so-called "Project 2025." Students will explore how executive power has expanded at the expense of legislative and judicial oversight, analyzing legal, political, and institutional dimensions of this "imperial presidency." The seminar provides context for understanding contemporary threats to democratic institutions and potential pathways for reform. close
