Does the Congress Matter?

Does the Congress matter? ·       President Trump’s answer seems to be, “Not really.” Who needs legislation when executive orders will do? ·       And Congress so far seems to agree. But will that change?   Join us online on April 24 at 5:30 pm for a virtual conversation moderated by Alan Stoga, chairman of The Tällberg Foundation, to probe the questions we are all asking: When will Congress start to function again as an independent branch of government? And, what can we expect in hyper-partisan Washington?   Our special guest will be Tom O’Donnell, the former chief of staff to House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and a long-time presence on Capitol Hill. ·       Mr. O’Donnell is deeply knowledgeable about how Washington works and doesn’t work. ·       He will share his insights about what Congress can actually get done in today’s chaotic, unruly government.
