SUMMARY:Pushing the Purse: Congressional Budgeting as a Tool of Oversight
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a seminar featuring the Levin Center’s 2025/26 Elise J. Bean Oversight Fellow\, Kevin Angell\, as he presents his research on the relationship between congressional budget processes and legislative oversight. \nKevin’s project\, “Pushing the Purse\,” examines how Congress uses its budgetary authorities to shape executive branch behavior and respond to instances of presidential non-compliance. Drawing on interviews with congressional and executive branch staff\, as well as original quantitative data on committee reports\, hearings\, and budget activity\, his research explores how oversight functions in practice within the appropriations process. \nThis seminar offers an opportunity to engage with original research on the intersection of congressional budgeting\, oversight\, and executive accountability. \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Could Rebooting Congress Help Save American Democracy?
DESCRIPTION:Could Rebooting Congress Help Save American Democracy?  \nThe case for strengthening Congress as an institution of deliberation\,  \naccountability\, and compromise \nJoin the Levin Center and Wayne Law for a Constitution Day conversation on the challenges facing Congress today and the opportunities to revitalize its role in American democracy. As public trust in government has declined and political polarization has deepened\, some observers point to the long-running erosion in congressional performance and capacity as a driving force in this dysfunction. \nThis panel will explore both the causes and consequences of that decline and consider what it would mean to reinvest in Congress. Drawing on perspectives from practice\, scholarship\, and policy\, the discussion will examine ways Congress might better support meaningful debate\, strengthen its oversight responsibilities\, and rebuild public confidence in democratic institutions. \n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHon. Barbara Comstock \nFormer U.S. Representative \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhilip Wallach \nSenior Fellow\, American Enterprise Institute & Author of Why Congress \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Steven Winter \nWalter S. Gibbs Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law\, Wayne State University Law School \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nRSVP: Constitution Day 2026 – RSVP – Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy \n  \nThe event is part of the Levin Center’s Congress 250 campaign and Wayne Law’s 100th anniversary celebration. Students\, faculty\, and members of the broader community are welcome. The panel will be followed by a reception in the Partrich Auditorium lobby. \n
