Will President Obama follow through on his campaign promises about executive power and oversee a more modest presidency that recognizes constitutional limitations? Or will the new administration end up expanding the powers of the presidential office?

Please join us Wednesday, February 25th at 12:00 PM to discuss the prospects and possibilities for the presidency in the Obama era.

The forum will feature Louis Fisher, Specialist on the Constitution, [Law Library of Congress](http://www.loc.gov/law/); and [Jeffrey Rosen](http://www.law.gwu.edu/Faculty/Profile.aspx?id=1763), Professor, [The George Washington University School of Law](http://www.law.gwu.edu/Pages/Default.aspx). It will be moderated by [Gene Healy](https://www.cato.org/people/gene-healy), Vice President, Cato Institute.

[Reserve your seat for this free event today](https://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=5741). Lunch will be served after the event. For those who cannot attend, the forum will be simulcast live online.
