Professor Magliocca Discusses First Daughter's Role in the White House with Washington, D.C., Television News
04/04/2017
It’s difficult to make a case against Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner having advisory positions in the White House, Professor Gerard Magliocca told a Washington, D.C., television station for a news story broadcast on April 3.
Based on strictly legal considerations, Professor Magliocca said the first daughter and son-in-law can hold the jobs as advisors to the president. On the practical side, there would be no one with standing to sue. “It would be very hard to identify someone with a legal interest that is harmed by her presence there,” he said in the story.
Professor Magliocca is a Samuel R. Rosen Professor of Law, and a noted expert in constitutional law.
