UC Berkeley law expert Dan Farber explains Trump’s conviction and the limits of presidential power.
Farber, a professor at UC Berkeley School of Law and the author of Contested Ground: How to Understand the Limits of Presidential Power explains that while the framers of the constitution may never have considered the day that a convicted felon might ascend to the White House, they did grapple with the balance of power granted to the president. As Trump’s other cases play out, his claims of presidential immunity - and whether the Supreme Court decides to uphold this “get out of jail free” card - could have a profound impact on the future of the American presidency, and the limits of power in the office.
