Presidents and the Constitution

Presidents and the Constitution

Each of our 45 presidents has shaped the Constitution in his own way

Ken Gormley, a constitutional scholar and the president of Duquesne University, describes how presidents from George Washington and Andrew Jackson to Barack Obama and Donald Trump have added dimension to the U.S. Constitution's description of the role of the nation's chief executive.

This event was part of the Miller Center's Historical Presidency lecture series.
