Description

The Constitution is the terms and conditions we all live by. But how many of us have taken the time to digest its dense sentences and outdated language? On today’s episode, we spoke with Ben Sheehan, whose book “OMG, WTF Does The Constitution Actually Say?” takes a funny, accessible look at our nation’s founding document and how its 300-year-old rules apply to us today. Ben answers all your questions about the Constitution, including why we never change it anymore, whether it gives guidance for presidential power during a pandemic, and which rights we think we have, but actually don’t.
