Recorded August 22, this podcast brings together two speakers well-versed in regulation and regulatory reform. Professor Thom Lambert is the Wall Chair in Corporate Law and Governance at the University of Missouri School of Law and the author of How to Regulate: A Guide for Policymakers. Ken Davis is a senior attorney and former Deputy Attorney General for Virginia. Mr. Davis wrote a review on Professor Lambert's book which prompted several months of debate on their differing approaches to reform and the fundamental assumptions that undergird the current regulatory system, culminating in this Teleforum. We hope you enjoy this lively exchange!

Necessary & Proper Episode 23: Improving Regulation - Process vs. Substance

Necessary & Proper is the official podcast of the Federalist Society's Article I Initiative. The Framers of the Constitution intended the legislature to be the most powerful branch of government. In its present state, as the government operates on a day to day basis, it is not. Were the Founders simply wrong about the inherent powers of the legislative branch? Has the institution of Congress developed practices that are not compatible with the text of the Constitution? Why are current Congressional leaders unable or unwilling to act as an effective check on the presidency? Why is Congress unable to pass a budget? Why has Congress ceded much of its authority to the executive branch and to administrative agencies? What does it mean to serve productively as a member of the House or Senate? These and other important questions are the focus of the Article I Initiative. Periodic releases from Necessary & Proper will feature experts who can shed light on what the Framers envisioned for the legislative branch and how it can be restored to its proper place in the constitutional order.
