What happens when presidents threaten the democracy they’re sworn to protect? Dillon and Desimber welcome constitutional scholar Corey Brettschneider, host of The Oath and the Office, for a timely conversation about presidential power, constitutional accountability, and the people who push back. Drawing from his book, The Presidents and the People, we’ll explore lessons from past presidential abuses, examine today’s headlines through a constitutional lens, and ask what “We the People” can do when democratic safeguards are tested.
