Congress after Chevron
The Supreme Court’s overturning of Chevron deference last year dramatically changed the relationship between the legislative and executive branches. After four decades of Supreme Court precedent holding that courts should broadly defer to agencies in their interpretation of statutes, the landmark Loper Bright case has shifted responsibility back to Congress.
But is Congress up to the task of executing its renewed Article I responsibilities? What capabilities and institutional reforms would better equip Congress for its new role?
To explore these questions, the Foundation for American Innovation invites you to a panel discussion and reception in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, February 12, featuring experts on Congress and the administrative state.
The panel will build upon a recent symposium published by the Foundation for American Innovation and the C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School. Congress after Chevron: Legislative Responses to Changing Deference Doctrines features new papers on Congress’s post-Chevron challenges and opportunities.
