In his latest for TIME, CERL Affiliated Faculty Kermit Roosevelt discusses what the debate over Trump’s eligibility to run for office in 2024 reveals about today’s constitutional discourse.

Kermit Roosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at Penn Carey Law School. He is also a member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty. Read his bio here.
