Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we're talking about three different topics in Constitutional Law that are sometimes tested together: executive authority, federal preemption, and commandeering. These topics logically go together because they all involve a power struggle between government entities.

In this episode we discuss:

• Presidential and Congressional powers
• The three levels of Presidential authority
• Express and implied preemption
• Can Congress commandeer the states to regulate on its behalf?
• Analyzing a hypo from the July 2008 California bar exam
