"After more than 12 years at the reins, Jeffrey Rosen is out as director of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, sparking accusations that President Donald Trump is once again seeking to control a U.S. cultural institution. Rosen, age 61, is a renowned legal scholar, and had played a key role in the museum's preparations for America 250, the national celebration of the semiquincentennial of the founding of the U.S."
"Vice president Vince Stango, who has been with the institution since 1999, is now interim president and CEO. But reportedly, he had previously been handling much of the day-to-day management of the museum, while Rosen focused on scholarship and the intellectual output of the institution. (As of press time, the museum had not responded to requests for comment.)"
