In this powerful episode of Roots, Rights and Reason, host Lee Smith is joined by attorney and political commentator Will Chamberlain to delve into the true origins and evolving scope of executive power in the United States.

Chamberlain explains how the Founders, far from fearing a strong executive, intentionally strengthened the role of the presidency in response to the failures of the Articles of Confederation. Drawing from Roman history and the Federalist Papers, they crafted a system that empowered a single president to enforce laws, defend the nation, and act decisively, yet still within constitutional limits.

The episode takes a sharp turn into modern judicial overreach, focusing on how the courts have attempted to curtail executive authority through nationwide injunctions and the creation of so-called "independent agencies." Chamberlain makes a compelling case for the unitary executive theory and lays out how recent court battles, especially under President Trump-are restoring the Constitution’s original balance.

From Hamilton’s vision to current SCOTUS rulings, this episode contains insight into one of the most consequential constitutional showdowns of our time.

New episodes drop every Wednesday at 3 PM ET.
