Abstract

This short essay, responding to Professor Samuel Issacharoff and Dean Trevor Morrison's Jorde Lecture, “Constitution by Convention,” uses the recent litigation over the Trump Administration's efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census to highlight the significance of internal executive-branch conventions; it also explores both the procedural and substantive dimensions of lower-court inquiries into, and enforcement of, such conventions.

Keywords: constitution, constitutional conventions, administrative law, Administrative Procedure Act, APA, pretext
