About this episode

This episode discusses the Supreme Court's 1983 decision on the legislative veto and its implications for Congress's power over the executive branch.

In 1983, the Supreme Court declared the legislative veto unconstitutional, forever kneecapping Congress’ ability to check the executive branch. Now you have to learn about bicameralism and presentment. If you're not a 5-4 Premium member, you're not hearing every episode!
