Weighing in on the administration’s use of executive orders

UC Law Professor Anne Lofaso and Congressman Greg Landsman offer perspectives

WVXU’s Cincinnati Edition aired a segment discussing President Trump’s executive orders and what the Constitution allows. 

More than 10,000 federal workers have been dismissed as a result of the president’s executive order. UC Law Professor Anne Lofaso and U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman spoke with Cincinnati Edition about presidential executive orders.

Landsman says the layoffs could affect public health, consumer protection and other areas of service. His comments were part of a recorded interview that aired the first half of a 47-minute segment.

UC Law Professor Anne Lofaso continued the conversation with Cincinnati Edition discussing the legality of executive orders issued by President Trump.  (Her segment begins at 25:18).

Lofaso says lawsuits from federal employees terminated are moving forward. She teaches courses in labor law, employment law and constitutional law at UC Law.
