- Pamela Karlan, a professor of public interest law at Stanford Law School, testified in a congressional hearing Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, where she discussed the constitutional power of the president.
- When asked by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee to compare kings' conduct with Trump's, Karlan made a point to say that the president does not have the power to "do anything he wants" like a king does.
- "The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can't make him a baron," Karlan said during the hearing.
- The First Lady reacted to Karlan's comment via Twitter, saying the Stanford professor should be "ashamed" for her "very angry and obviously biased public pandering."
