On June 23, 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court declared a legislative
veto unconstitutional in the Immigration and Naturalization Service
v. Chadha case, a ruling that seems to invalidate the legislative
vetoes in more than two hundred laws. Two weeks later the court
reaffirmed the principles of Chadha to invalidate the legislative
veto in other acts. These epic cases, which are already being
called the most important separation-of-powers rulings since the
White House tapes cases, have generated debate over the
implications of the loss of the legislative veto and the wisdom of
the court's actions. In this book the author argues that the
legislative veto fell far short of its promise in actual operation
over the regulatory process. Instead of promoting democratic
congressional control over the actions of bureaucrats, legislative
veto politics more often devolved to the politics of special
interest protection, heavily influenced by unelected congressional
staff. Moreover, the legislative veto. allowed Congress to sidestep
conflicts by issuing vague mandates that left agencies without the
necessary congressional support to implement them. Dr. Craig
combines a historical perspective on the legislative veto with
analyses of original case studies involving some of the most
important policy issues of the 1980s--housing, education, energy,
and consumer protection. Assessing all the cases available for
research, she points to discrepancies between the legislative
veto's intended effects and its actual results. In a final chapter
she considers the impact of the Chadha case and discusses possible
alternatives to the legislative veto for congressional control of
regulation.
