Common Cause Invites You...


To join us for a President's Council meeting and discussion of abuse of power.

In the past several decades, Americans have witnessed the rise of a powerful and increasingly unchecked executive branch. The Administration has disregarded the rule of law through over-broad assertions of executive power, abuse of signing statements, and policies that arguably flout the Constitution regarding interrogation, detention and intelligence gathering. The Congress has repeatedly failed to perform its constitutionally mandated oversight duties in each of these areas. Our panel will examine these disturbing trends and consider how best to restore the constitutional constraints that have served our country well since its inception.

Date: Tuesday, June 10
Time: 9:30am to 4:30pm,
panel discussion 11:00am-1:00pm
Location: Jack Morton Auditorium at George Washington University
805 21st Street NW in Washington DC
(Foggy Bottom metro)

Panelists include Stanley Brand, former counsel for the House of Representatives and congressional ethics expert; Jonathan Turley, law professor at George Washington University; Liz Holtzman, former Member of Congress and author of The Impeachment of George W. Bush; and John Shattuck, CEO of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and former assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor under President Clinton.
