Overview
Speaker(s)

Experience Level: Any level of experience

The webinar will discuss the various Presidential Executive Actions; Executive Orders (“EOs”), Presidential Policy Memoranda ("PPMs") and Proclamations and their current use by this Administration. Emphasis on the fact specific nature of Executive Actions will be made throughout the webinar.

The webinar will first provide a background understanding of the authorities that give rise to these Presidential actions, the contemporary process for their issuance, with particular focus on Executive Orders, and Judicial Review with particular focus on Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. v. Sawyer, as well Congressional Oversight. We will then briefly cover the modification and revocation of Executive Orders.

The webinar will then examine selected EOs and PPMs with impacts or potential impacts of interest to the Members of the NSPE. Given the breadth of NSPE membership, inevitably the webinar will not be able to cover all areas of interest to all NSPE members.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Members will have an enhanced perspective into Executive Actions and the uneven process tempo of their implementation.

2. Members will gain an understanding of the complexity of the Executive Branch's implementation challenges for certain EOs, as well as the interaction of EOs within the same jurisdictions.
