Episode 5: Authority, Borders, and War

A cabinet firing, a federal immigration ruling, and a Senate vote on war powers all raise the same question: who controls government power – and where does the Constitution draw the line?

In this episode of Wahl on Law, Jonas breaks down President Trump’s decision to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and what it reveals about presidential authority over the executive branch, a federal judge’s decision blocking deportations of migrants to third countries, and Congress’s failed attempt to limit President Trump’s military strikes against Iran. Together, these stories reveal how courts, Congress, and the president continue to battle over the limits of power in American government.
