99% Invisible · Constitution Breakdown #7: California AG Rob Bonta · 27 Feb 2026 podcast

So what is the state doing here to balance protecting these rights within the state, but then also not crossing the line in terms of constitutional requirements that states should respect each other's laws and proceedings?

And that includes things like sort of refusing to hand over information about doctors who might have provided such information to and help to patients within states that have severely restricted or banned abortion.

Is that right?

What are you most worried about that might happen in the coming year from the administration?

It was wonderful to talk to you.

The 99% Invisible Breakdown of the Constitution is produced by Isabel Angel, edited by committee, music by Swan Rial, mixed by Martin Gonzalez.

99% Invisible · Constitution Breakdown #5: Dr. Tom Frieden · 26 Dec 2025 podcast

And I'm Elizabeth Jo.

We covered article one before, that was addressing Congress, its powers and limitations.

Now let's take a brief tour of Article Two.

Okay.

All right, so Article Two can be seen as doing a couple of things, uh specifying the selection of the president and the function of the executive branch, uh listing the specific powers of the president, listing the duties of the president, and what to do with a constitutionally inadequate president.

So there are some, just like with Article One, some very important aspects of the executive branch that are in Article Two, but some things that are not in Article Two at all, but nevertheless important.

So we'll get to those.

But I think the big thing, unlike our discussion about Congress, is that with Article Two, a huge force affecting Article Two is Trump and the Supreme Court's treatment of Trump.

Trump has had a very significant impact on how we think about the powers of the presidenції.

So let's start with section one.

Section one contains the vesting clause, which says the executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America.

Now we saw a vesting clause in Article One as well, but Article One and Article Two have a notable difference.

Article one says all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress.

Article two doesn't refer to just powers here and granted.
