SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: Why Do Presidents Push The Limits?
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Robert H. Jackson Center’s 25th Anniversary Lecture Series\, this program explores the powers\, responsibilities\, and limits of the American presidency. No matter which party holds the White House\, the executive branch often tests the boundaries of authority\, and the consequences of overreach can reshape the balance of government. In Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952)\, President Truman attempted to seize control of steel mills during the Korean War\, raising urgent questions about the scope of executive power. Justice Robert H. Jackson’s concurring opinion provided a careful framework for evaluating when presidential actions exceed constitutional limits\, balancing national needs with adherence to the law. \nThis lecture will examine Jackson’s reasoning in detail\, exploring the three-tiered framework he established for assessing executive authority and the enduring impact it has on debates over presidential power. From emergency actions to everyday decisions\, Jackson’s insights continue to guide legal scholars\, policymakers\, and the public in understanding the delicate balance between effective leadership and constitutional restraint. Attendees will leave with a deeper appreciation for the ways in which Jackson’s thought shapes modern governance and the protections that uphold democratic principles in times of crisis. \nAbout the SpeakerGerard N. Magliocca is a Distinguished Professor and the Lawrence A. Jegen III Professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. He is the author of five books on constitutional law\, including his new book The Actual Art of Governing: Justice Robert H. Jackson’s Concurring Opinion in the Steel Seizure Case\, which offers a deep analysis of Jackson’s landmark concurring opinion and its continuing relevance to presidential power today. His biography of Justice Bushrod Washington won the Erwin N. Griswold Prize from the Supreme Court Historical Society. \nProfessor Magliocca earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford and his law degree from Yale. He joined the Indiana University faculty in 2001 after two years as an attorney and one year clerking for Judge Guido Calabresi on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He has held the Fulbright-Dow Distinguished Research Chair at the Roosevelt Study Center in the Netherlands and was a Fellow at the Washington Library at Mount Vernon. \nCopies of The Actual Art of Governing: Justice Robert H. Jackson’s Concurring Opinion in the Steel Seizure Case will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

SUMMARY:Exoplanets: What They Are and How We Find Them
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a world with two shadows and a double sunset—it sounds like Star Wars\, but Kepler-16b (pictured below) is a very real exoplanet just 245 light-years away. While it’s easy to view these worlds as far-off curiosities\, the study of exoplanets is happening right here in Western New York. \nThe hunt for exoplanets has moved far beyond massive space agencies. Today\, it’s about citizen science: passionate observers using precise technology to contribute real data to the global scientific community. \nJoin us at the Martz-Kohl Observatory on Wednesday\, May 20th at 7:30 p.m. Observatory President Tom Traub will present “Exoplanets: What They Are and How We Find Them\,” a look at the methodologies behind current exoplanet research and our local contributions to the field. \nThe talk will be live at the observatory and streamed via Zoom. More info: https://martzobservatory.org/ \nHere’s some of what Tom be covering: \n The Science of Dips: Ever wonder how we find planets? We’ll break down the “transit method”—measuring tiny\, tell-tale dips in starlight as a planet crosses its sun. It’s just like watching a moth flutter across a distant streetlight. \n The Wolf 327b Discovery: Get an inside look at our 2025 collaboration that helped identify a “super-Earth” scorched by its star—orbiting in just 13.7 hours. \n High-Tech Outreach: See how we’re utilizing advanced astro-imaging and the automation of our 24-inch telescope to conduct professional-grade research at a local level. \n Citizen Science: Learn how a lifelong passion for engineering and astronomy translates into real-world astronomy. \nAs President of the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association Inc. (MMMAA)\, Tom Traub blends his technical background as a design engineer with decades of observational astronomy. His work has been instrumental in upgrading our facility\, specifically the automation of our 24-inch telescope and the integration of new astro-imaging systems that now fuel our current research. \nTom is a staunch advocate for citizen science\, having contributed to the 2025 discovery of the exoplanet Wolf 327b. As a NASA Eclipse Ambassador and educator\, he is dedicated to bridging the gap between complex science and the community—making the cosmos accessible to everyone. \nCome for the science and the stories\, stay for the tour! We’ll be offering guided walks of the observatory and\, weather permitting\, live viewing through our large telescopes. We look forward to seeing you there. \n\n Martz-Kohl Observatory Wednesday\, May 20\, 2026 | 7:30 p.m.
