DESCRIPTION:On March 1\, President Joe Biden delivers the annual State of 
 the Union address. But what is the state of the United States' constitutio
 nal system of checks and balances? Over time\, presidents have exercised i
 ncreasing power\, some of it delegated by Congress\, some of it assumed un
 ilaterally. From the war powers to executive orders\, how has the Biden ad
 ministration grappled with the inheritance of its predecessors? When is pr
 esidential power legitimate\, and when is it problematic? Can an often inv
 isible Congress regain its prerogatives? And how do inter-branch maneuveri
 ngs shape the 2022 midterm elections and Biden’s success moving forward?
