46 分钟Sure, we all pay lip service to the Madisonian system of checks and balances. But presidents have been steadily expanding the reach of the job. With an election around the corner, we updated our 2016 conversation with the legal scholar Eric Posner — who has some good news and some not-so-good news about the power of the presidency. (Part one of a two-part series.)

We figured the timing made sense.
This first episode is an update of a fascinating conversation we had back in 2016, even more fascinating in retrospect, with the University of Chicago legal scholar Eric Posner.
This conversation took place in the autumn of 2016, toward the end of President Obamas second term and a couple months before Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in a big upset.
Part two of this series will be released very soon because we want you to hear them close together.
Part two includes a new conversation with Posner about the past eight years of the presidency, and we also try to figure out if election betting markets might be better than election polls.
