In 1983, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in INS v. Chadha that the legislative veto was unconstitutional. This landmark decision invalidated a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act that allowed one house of Congress to veto an executive agency’s decision. Here are some topical quotes from the case:

“The Constitution requires a bicameral legislature, which means that both houses of Congress must pass legislation before it can become law.” – Justice Powell

“The legislative veto violates the separation of powers by allowing Congress to exercise executive or judicial power.” – Justice Powell

“The Constitution’s structural safeguards would be meaningless if Congress could simply bypass them by giving itself the power to amend or repeal laws by a vote of one House.” – Justice Powell

Date of the case: June 23, 1983.
