Separation of Powers & the Presidency: Gerald Ford & the US Constitution in the Post-Watergate Period w/ Dr. Alex Hindman, Ph.D., College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Massachusetts The Republican Professor

Here is a new look at the presidency of Gerald Ford and the post-Watergate era, through the lens of the US Constitution's Separation of Powers. And to walk us through that material with fresh eyes, we have Dr. Alex Hindman, Ph.D., a professor at College of the Holy Cross (where Clarence Thomas went for his undergrad) in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Dr. Hindman has a book called "Gerald Ford and the Separation of Powers: Preserving the Constitutional Presidency in the Post-Watergate Period", published by Lexington Press, and that is the focus of our conversation.
The book is on Amazon. But please support your local book dealer.
As an aside, one of the members of my dissertation committee, the late great Michael Uhlmann, served as a political appointee high up in the Department of Justice in the Ford Administration. He was Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General, and the other Assistant Attorney General he served with under Ford was a man named Antonin Scalia, who later became a professor, a federal appellate judge in the D.C. Circuit under Reagan, and then, of course, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Their friendship I think began there serving under Ford.
The Republican Professor is a pro-looking-at-the-presidency-with-fresh-eyes, pro-Separation-of-Powers, pro-Constitutional-contemplation podcast.
Therefore, welcome Dr. Alex Hindman, Ph.D., of College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts !
The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.
