"A president who tries to change the rules once will do it again. The more his first attempt is downgraded, has its edges smoothed, turned into a matter of differing opinion rather than a unique effort to break the American system, the easier it is for that same person to break the laws again."

The series begins with 4 online interviews with historians and journalists who think and work historically & journalistically. Karin Wulf will be in conversation with Jamelle Bouie, a columnist for The New York Times; John Dickerson, a reporter and anchor most recently for CBS Evening News; 3/5
