Zivotofsky v. Kerry: The Jerusalem Passport Case
On this week\u2019s Lawfare Podcast, Lawfare Founding Editor Jack Goldsmith and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Marty\xa0Lederman sat down to discuss the Supreme Court\u2019s sweeping ruling in Zivotofsky v. Kerry.\xa0In its opinion, the Court ruled that the President has the exclusive power to recognize foreign sovereigns, and he therefore can disregard a Congressional statute requiring him to designate \u201cIsrael\u201d on the passports of U.S. citizens born in Jerusalem. What are the consequences of this decision? What does this now mean for the method of determining the President\u2019s exclusive powers? And could the Court have reached a more limited ruling? Goldsmith and Lederman tackle all this and more.\xa0
