Vance delivers Claremont Institute address on executive power and judicial review

Vice President JD Vance delivered an address at a Claremont Institute event in Washington, D.C. on March 25, 2026, on constitutional originalism and the limits of judicial review over executive branch actions. The Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank, has provided theoretical grounding for the administration's position that the executive branch possesses independent constitutional authority to interpret the Constitution; Vance argued that federal courts exceeded their authority in enjoining Trump executive orders.
