The U.S. Congress has a history of giving up power, then taking it back, according to Jasmine Farrier, PhD, an associate professor of political science at the University of Louisville.

Just two days before the Nov. 2 mid-term elections, Farrier will connect her recent book, Congressional Ambivalence: The Political Burdens of Constitutional Authority" (University Press of Kentucky, 2010), with the current political landscape. The event will take place in Ford Hall, room 407 (map).

Jasmine Farrier's lecture should be mandatory for citizens concerned with the state of modern American government.
– Gary Gregg, director of the McConnell Center

"For more than a century, the American presidency has been on the ascendancy of power within the American government. This is not how the Founders intended it, and we can wonder if it is really food for the Republic," said Gary Gregg, director of the McConnell Center. "Jasmine Farrier has written a book that helps us seriously think through the inability of Congress to lead the nation as the Founders intended."

This free and public event is co-sponsored with the U of L Dept. of Political Science.
