I made a website that contains (nearly) all my writing and podcasts in one place. You can search across all the content at once. And you can subscribe to receive a newsletter when I post new work (no more than once a week). Let me know what you think!

It seems clear as a matter of practice that Trump has the authority to initiate withdrawal from the World Health Organization agreement. He seems to accept, correctly in my view, that he is subject to the one-year waiting period that Congress specified for withdrawal. He might claim, however, that he should get credit for the approx. 198 days that elapsed when he tried to withdraw from the WHO near the end of his first term (which was not successful because Biden rescinded the notice of withdrawal when he took office). The idea that these earlier days of attempted withdrawal should carry over, despite an entire four-year administration in the interim, seems unpersuasive to me, but his executive order is written in a way that could suggest it.

I’m honored that my new book, "Historical Gloss and Foreign Affairs," is the subject of commentary this week on the Balkinization site. There's a great lineup of commentators, and I'm very appreciative of their engagement with my work.

Decline of treaties: 3 days ago Prez Biden sent *2d* treaty (118-2) of this 2-year Congress (ends in 2 weeks) to Senate for consent. https://t.co/tNoJ7txgeg. Other one: https://t.co/nYAS0OxroO. This on top of 3 treaties in 117th Congress. So: Five total.
Today is the official release date for my new book! The book concerns the role of historical practice in defining the foreign affairs powers of Congress and the President, and it addresses an array of topics ranging from executive agreements to war powers.

Today, John Roberts passes his predecessor (and former boss) William Rehnquist and becomes the fourth-longest serving Chief Justice in American history at 18 years, 344 days.
In front of him: Melville Fuller (21 years), Roger Taney (28 years), and John Marshall (34 years).
