Marshall earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from Michigan State University, along with M.A. degrees from Michigan State and the University of Toledo, and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Toledo. His educational background laid the foundation for his expertise in institutional politics and policy analysis.
His research interests center on the dynamics of power between Congress and the President, particularly through mechanisms like signing statements, veto politics, and legislative procedures. He explores how institutional actors strategically navigate separation of powers, with a special focus on gender and political representation. His work on female role models and young women's political engagement highlights the intersection of identity and political behavior.
The analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on presidential unilateralism, congressional influence, and institutional strategy. His articles span topics such as veto-proof majorities, signing statements, foreign policy gridlock, and the use of force, reflecting a deep engagement with both theoretical and empirical aspects of American political institutions.
