Power to the People: Reclaiming Democracy

Season 2025 Episode 1 | 4m 40s

As rival "presidents" push executive power to new limits, a call emerges for accountability, courage, and constitutional grounding. The real challenge? A weakened Congress, performative politics, and voters who must demand better. With the nation’s 250th anniversary ahead, the question remains: can we still come together to form a more perfect union? BREAKING the DEADLOCK: A Power Play.

Location furnished by The New York Historical. Funding for BREAKING the DEADLOCK was made possible in part by PBS viewers.
