Stevenson’s army, December 24

I’m not Christian, nor am I fond of Christmas carols as a genre, but this via Middle East Institute colleagues @rmslim and @Katulis is moving.

– President Biden issued a signing statement on the new NDAA, indicating he would narrowly construe several provisions in accordance with his views on executive authority.

-NYT has a long ticktock on the operations of the January 6 committee.

– Hill notes DC national guard wasn’t purposely delayed on Jan. 6.

– Law profs praise passage of new law giving Congress greater role in executive agreements.

– For your viewing pleasure, Politico lists best political movies and television shows of 2022.

Happy Holidays! CS

I republish here, with occasional videos of my choice. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com.
