The workshop will focus on six topics: (1) the role of historical gloss in constitutional interpretation; (2) the power of presidents to recognize foreign governments and their territories; (3) the rise of executive agreements in lieu of treaties; (4) uses of military force; (5) the role of history in enhancing Congress’s foreign affairs authority; and (6) delegations of foreign affairs authority from Congress to the executive branch.
