Dr. Anthony Clark Arend will deliver annual Constitution Day lecture
Dr. Anthony Clark Arend, professor of government and foreign service and chair of the Department of Government at Georgetown University, will deliver Salve Regina’s annual Constitution Day lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17. This lecture will be held virtually via Facebook Live on the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy’s Facebook page. To RSVP for the lecture, visit the Pell Center’s Eventbrite page.
The constitution says very little about the exercise of foreign affairs powers. Yet some of the most contentious disputes between the legislative branches of the U.S. government have been related to foreign affairs. How are we to understand these foreign affairs powers? Can these conflicts be resolved? Dr. Arend will address these questions in his lecture entitled “The Constitution and Foreign Affairs.”
