Ep. 127 - Article II - The Executive Branch - We Are Counting Down To Constitution Day‪!‬ Constitutional Chats Presented By Constituting America

Regular followers of Constituting America know this by heart: Article I of our Constitution creates Congress which creates law.  Article II creates the Executive Branch which enforces law.  Article III creates the Judicial Branch which interprets law. Article II is what we are discussing today.  While we know the President is the head of the executive branch, that position alone cannot enforce all law.  So how does any law passed by Congress actually get enforced? There are 15 Cabinet-level departments in the Executive Branch whose job is to enforce law.  Additionally, according to our guest, there are between 320-450 federal agencies, offices within the federal government, that create the rules and regulations that allow Congressionally-passed federal law to be enforced.  Our special guest today is Andrew Langer, President of the Institute for Liberty and Chairman and Founder of the Institute for Regulatory Analysis and Engagement.  Join Andrew and our student panels for this illustrious discussion into the mechanisms through which our laws are enforced.
