LWV of Sanibel to host luncheon program
The League of Women Voters of Sanibel will hold a citizen education luncheon program on Dec. 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Sundial Beach Resort & Spa, at 1451 Middle Gulf Drive, Sanibel.
“The Presidency Unleased” will feature Philip Allen Lacovara, a former deputy solicitor general of the United States for criminal and national security matters and former counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor.
His talk will trace the Constitution Framer’s expectations about the character of the presidency, both the personal qualities that were expected and the constitutional mechanisms that would “check and balance” presidential power. Lacovara will explore the ebbs and flows of presidential power as illustrated by several important decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, including the Nixon tapes case, which he argued before the Supreme Court. He will also discuss the evolution of the presidency to the present, with the Supreme Court’s decision this year about presidential immunity. Lacovara recently testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee about this decision.
The cost is $30 per person, and payment by cash or check can be made at the door.
RSVPs are requested no later than Nov. 27.
