Yeah, so, of course, no one agreed with Nixon, or at least Nixon at the end of the day left office based on the fact that that view was not accepted by the courts or the people.

I would say today we are at an extraordinary moment where the Trump administration is attempting to expand executive power, which, by the way, has been expanding under previous administrations as well, but is attempting to expand executive power into new and unchartered territories. I think the courts can slow down

that expanse beyond the constitutional limits, but it cannot stop it if the political branches, such as Congress or the people, who, of course, will go and elect again new members of Congress and a new president in four years, if the people don't accept it, then I think that is the last check on executive power, and the courts can only hold the line for so long.

I would say that no, we are not yet in a constitutional crisis, but we are undergoing a constitutional stress test. And we have an executive that has usurped the power of Congress and overstepped the boundaries of the office. And the question is, will the court step up to play their constitutional role in stopping it?

And following from that, will the executive comply with court orders requiring them to stop taking action?

That steamship journey took about a month, and he would have ridden in steerage near the engine room, which is where most of the Chinese immigrants traveled. He was a cook named Wong Kim Art. He would have slept on a bunk, crammed in with everyone else on steerage, and they overcrowded these boats.

It would have been certainly a fairly squalid way to travel and very difficult in terms of limited food and water. I think when he saw San Francisco Bay emerge out of what was likely the foggy morning, he must have been thrilled to think, I'm finally back home and I can get off this boat and go back to my home in San Francisco.

At this point, the Chinese Exclusion Act was in effect. And so if you were a Chinese laborer, you were not allowed to enter. Wong Kim Ark argued with the customs official. He said, yes, I'm a laborer, I'm a chef, but I'm a citizen. And here's the proof. He had his certificates. He knew that he was born in the United States and that meant he was a U.S. citizen.
