Congresswoman Liz Cheney "Saving Democracy By Revering The Constitution" | Notre Dame CCCG

Notre Dame - Constitutional Studies Lectures

Join us for a lecture by Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) on the future of American democracy. Congresswoman Liz Cheney serves as Wyoming’s lone member of Congress in the U.S. House of Representatives. She was first elected in 2016 on a platform of restoring America’s strength and power in the world, and pursuing conservative solutions to create jobs, cut taxes and regulation, and expand America’s energy, mining and agriculture industries. Rep. Cheney discusses the moment George Washington declined to run for a third term as President and the painting done by George Trumbull which depicted the moment. This painting now hands in the rotunda in the US Capital. Trumbull said the moment initiated the tradition of peaceful power transition in the United States. A tradition which Rep. Cheney says was not honored on January 6, 2021.
