NYU Law Forum—Regulation in Transition: The New Presidential-Power Playbook

In recent decades, as presidents have been less able to obtain legislative wins due to congressional gridlock, they have increasingly relied on regulatory measures to implement policy. Presidents have also sought to roll back regulations issued by the administration they succeed, if they are of differing political parties. President Trump was no exception, but he pursued regulatory rollbacks far more aggressively than other presidents, targeting significant measures from as far back as 2015 in areas such as the environment and the financial sector. Many pages from this new rollback playbook are likely to remain in place for some time, and at this Forum, a panel of experts will discuss how they are likely to shape the regulatory and political strategies of President Biden’s new administration.

The Forum is sponsored by Latham & Watkins.
