A discussion was held on the future of the presidency. Panel members were asked to consider five questions: has to presidency become too powerful, would the founders approve of today’s presidency, does the presidency threaten our system of checks and balances, do Americans rely too much on presidential leadership to solve problems, and the extent to which the presidency contributes to public distrust. Topics included President Obama, the future of the presidency after George W. Bush, and the current economic crisis. After their remarks, panelists responded to audience members' questions.
