We recorded this episode on Jan 12, just six days since a mob, whipped up by the president, breached the capitol. The first such breach since the war of 1812. So we’ve had to restart the clock, so to speak.It’s the insurrection equivalent of a workplace injuries counter: “6 days without a breach!”So we recorded six days after a mob stormed the capitol and one day before the House voted to impeach for a second time. Nancy Pelosi wore the same dress for both impeachments, which is just cool, if you ask me. A sartorial power move.My guests are Connor Ewing and Jeffrey Tulis, two political scientists. I didn’t get to ask them about Pelosi’s dress, but I did get to ask them about impeachment, the pardon power, presidential power generally, and more. Be warned that we might get into the weeds a bit, but there are some interesting things that emerge from the conversation. I point out a few in the intro to the podcast...

The president's inaugural address exemplifies America's republican constitution. It serves as the point of connection between the “poetry” of campaigns and the “prose” of governance. It embodies the peaceful transition of power, usually with the outgoing president present for the occasion. It comes weeks after the election's other candidate concedes the loss, and moments after the new president swears his constitutional oath of office. To explore the meaning of inaugural addresses in our constitutional order, University of Texas Professor of Government https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/government/faculty/tulisjk (Jeffrey Tulis) and AEI Resident Scholar https://www.aei.org/profile/gary-j-schmitt/ (Gary Schmitt) join https://twitter.com/adamjwhitedc?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (Adam) on today's episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/unprecedential-podcast/ (Unprecedential). Transitions, as Tevi Troy explained in the https://www.aei.org/multimedia/preparing-a-presidency-tevi-troy-on-presidential-transitions/ (last episode), begin to translate campaign promises into policy. By contrast, Gary and Jeff note, inaugural addresses connect the president's oath of office to the new administration's agenda.

On today's Bulwark Podcast, frequent contributor Jeffrey Tulis joins host Charlie Sykes to discuss the impeachment of Donald Trump, and the State of the Union address. Special Guest: Jeffrey Tulis.

This week, Chief Justice John Roberts was sworn in to preside over the third presidential impeachment trial in US history. What happens next? What’s Mitch McConnell’s game plan? And who the hell is Lev Parnas? Andrew Prokop breaks it all down.  Then, a Senate impeachment trial is one of the rarest and least understood events in American politics. Constitutional expert Jeffrey Tulis explains how the trial works, what the founders envisioned when they designed it, and why things should look very, very different from the Senate per usual.  And, at the end, the new evidence released by Lev Parnas was damning, but, then again, all of the evidence so far has been incredibly damning. The problem we face in this impeachment trial is not that we lack damning testimony, it’s that we lack Republican senators who are willing to put country over party.

Have changes in the style and manner of presidential rhetoric in the 20th century served us well?

Professor Jeffrey Tulis joins The Great Battlefield podcast to discuss presidential communication and the long term power of some notable political losers, very relevant to today's politics.

On a flight recently, Benjamin Wittes read a book that knocked his socks off: "The Rhetorical Presidency" by political scientist Jeffrey Tulis. While written in 1987, the book seems to anticipate our current president. Ben got on the phone with Jeffrey Tulis to talk about the book, how the speaking style of presidents changed from the Founding era through the 19th century and into the 20th century, and how the hyper-rhetorical style of Donald Trump, where he's talking all the time, is really an extension of developments that had been going on all through the 20th century.

Donald Trump famously said “We're going to win so much you may even get tired of winning.” Tell that to the losers of politics; those who have lost major elections or key political debates. We rarely focus on those who have lost, but Jeffrey Tulis and Nicole Mellow suggest we can learn a lot from the losers. In Legacies of Losing in American Politics (University of Chicago Press, 2018), they demonstrate that in three key points in American political history, the losing side won a lot more than we typically acknowledge or understand. Focusing on the founding period, the Civil War era, and the time after the passage of the New Deal, they show how the direction of the country was greatly shaped by defeat. Tulis teaches American politics and political theory at the University of Texas at Austin. Mellow is professor of political science at Williams College. Learn more about your ad choices.

How do presidents affect the law when they speak? Should courts consider what they say, defer to what they say, and find governmental intentions in what they say? What if a president says one thing, perhaps improvising during a speech, and an official communication of an agency, the Justice Department, or the White House says another? Kate Shaw joins us to talk about her theory that generally (but not always) courts should ignore presidential statements that are not consciously intended to stake out a legal position. Obviously, there's an 800-pound, tweeting gorilla in the corner of the room.
