The Reprieve Power: May The Uniform Code Of Military Justice Limit Executive Clemency?, Nino C. Monea Dec 2020

The Reprieve Power: May The Uniform Code Of Military Justice Limit Executive Clemency?, Nino C. Monea

West Virginia Law Review

Article 57 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice states the President "may commute, remit, or suspend the sentence, or any part thereof, as the President sees fit. That part of the sentence providing for death may not be suspended." This seemingly contradicts Article 2 of the United States Constitution, which states that the President "shall have the power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." This Article looks at whether the power to "reprieve" offenses includes the power to suspend sentences, including military sentences, and concludes that it does. The …


Co-Parenting War Powers: Congress's Authority To Escalate Conflicts, Russell A. Spivak Sep 2018

Co-Parenting War Powers: Congress's Authority To Escalate Conflicts, Russell A. Spivak

West Virginia Law Review

This article argues that Congress has the ability to force a President to escalate military intervention when he is otherwise unwilling to do so. The article begins by exploring the constitutional powers at Congress's disposal-the Declare War Clause, the Taxing and Spending Clause, and the Commander-in-Chief Clause-and their historical application. It then establishes that, under Justice Jackson's Youngstown framework, the Executive would be acting in Category Three, meaning that the President may "rely only upon his own constitutional powers minus any constitutional powers of Congress over the matter." Citing multiple Article I clauses, this article argues that Executive action in …

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify-An Analysis Of Two Decades Of Judicial Review In The Veterans' Benefits Adjudication System, Rory E. Riley Sep 2010

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify-An Analysis Of Two Decades Of Judicial Review In The Veterans' Benefits Adjudication System, Rory E. Riley

West Virginia Law Review

Prior to the Veterans' Judicial Review Act, the Department of Veterans Affairs existed in "splendid isolation," meaning that the Department was insu- lated from judicial review by statute. After the due process revolution of the 1960s and pressure from various veterans' organizations after the Vietnam War, Congress passed the Veterans' Judicial Review Act in 1988. The Act created the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, an Article I court with exclusive jurisdiction over decisions by the Board of Veterans' Appeals. This Article argues that twenty years after the Veterans' Judicial Review Act was imple- mented, the system has become …

Veterans' Legislation And Limitations Upon The Implied Powers Of Congress, Robert T. Donely Apr 1933

Veterans' Legislation And Limitations Upon The Implied Powers Of Congress, Robert T. Donely

West Virginia Law Review

The enactment of "veterans' legislation" by the Congress of the United States, in all its various phases, is essentially a gift in the form of money or services to a specially constituted minority of citizens. Since the source of the funds applied to such purposes flows, by the incidence of taxation, from the assets of the people as a whole, the inquiry is at once suggested: upon what theory is justified this collection from the many and donation to the few? If, by hypothesis, all would agree that this is undemocratic, what is the basis for the exception to the …
