O Holy Night

Federally, we have 536 elected positions between Congress and the President.&nbsp; We then have 2.8 million federal employees.&nbsp; How do we limit the power among the unelected officials we have in our federal government?&nbsp; To tackle this very important question, the Supreme Court introduced the Chevron Docrrine (also called the Chevron Deference) as a result of the 1984 Supreme Court case Chevron USA v Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.&nbsp; To help us understand the complexities of the Chevron Doctrine, how the powers of unelected officials have grown over the years and how current cases before the Supreme Court may affect these powers, we are happy to welcome to our discussion Jack Fitzhenry, Legal Fellow in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation.
