Necessary & Proper Episode 96: The Art of Deregulation: Executive Orders and Limited Government

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Trump has emphasized deregulation. Deregulatory efforts have focused both on undoing Biden-era policies in areas of interest (environmental regulation, SOGI issues, immigration, etc.) and on a broader effort to limit the scope of administrative power more broadly. In light of these strong changes, this panel will discuss the history of deregulation efforts in the Executive Branch, how those compare to the deregulatory efforts of the Trump Administration, and what these changes may mean both practically and more institutionally for the future of the Administrative State. Featuring: Prof. Bridget C.E. Dooling, Assistant Professor of Law, Moritz College of Law, The Ohio State University Prof. Susan E. Dudley, Distinguished Professor, Regulatory Studies Center, George Washington University Mr. William C. Hughes, Senior Counsel, Consensys Software Prof. Richard J. Pierce Jr., Lyle T.
