Description
Book SynopsisExamine the ways that US Congress has used the legislative veto over the past 80 years. Michael J. Berry argues that, since the US Supreme Court declared the legislative veto unconstitutional in Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) v. Chadha (1983), Congress has strategically modified its use of the veto to give more power to Appropriations Committees.
