Description
The first 100 days of a President’s term – the time at which his power and influence are historically deemed to be their greatest – are often looked to as a measure of a President’s ultimate success and future effectiveness while in office. As President Trump approaches this milestone (April 29), The Miller Center and The Heritage Foundation will hold a half-day conference examining two key aspects of his first 100 days – President Trump’s role as Chief Executive and the relationship between The President and Congress.
Scholars and practitioners will provide a retrospective of the Administration’s activities to date as well as offer potential insights into the remaining 265 days of the first year of the Trump Presidency. Are there historic parallels to previous Presidents’ first 100 days? Is our constitutional government functioning as designed? Have Americans come to expect too much of their elected officials? Are early patterns any guide to foretelling future achievement or defeat? Join us for a candid, informative and wide-ranging assessment of President Trump’s first 100 days.
