VIRTUAL EVENT: Congressional Oversight

May 27, 2025

An expert webinar on Congressional Oversight: its constitutional foundation, its purpose, and how it works in practice.

James Madison emphasized in Federalist No. 51 that each branch of government must have “the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others.” Congressional oversight, rooted in this principle, serves as a critical check ensuring accountability and balance among the branches.

Join us for an expert webinar on Tuesday, June 3, at 12 noon ET as we explore the constitutional basis and practical implementation of congressional oversight, discuss its role within our republican framework, and analyze perspectives on how effectively today’s Congress is fulfilling—or failing to fulfill—this critical responsibility.

To discuss this important topic, our webinar will feature Kevin Kosar of AEI, former investigative counsel to House Democrats, Susanne Grooms of Cooley LLP, former investigative counsel to Senate and House Republicans, Christopher Armstrong of Holland & Knight LLP, and Gregg Nunziata, the Society’s executive director.

This event will be on the record and open to press; for media inquiries, please contact Communications Director Tony Franquiz at [email protected].
