Separation Of Powers: Congrssional Riders And The Veto Power, Richard A. Riggs Jan 1973

Separation Of Powers: Congrssional Riders And The Veto Power, Richard A. Riggs

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

It has been suggested that in order to avoid this potential crisis statutory authority to veto nongermane riders be granted to the President. One author has contended that no such statute is needed, that the President presently has such power under Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution. On the other hand, bills have been introduced in both houses of Congress which might have specifically denied that power to the President. This article examines whether there is any constitutional ground on which the President could take the unprecedented action of separately vetoing congressional riders.

County Home Rule: An Approach To Metropolitan Problems In Michigan, Stephen M. Silverman Jan 1972

County Home Rule: An Approach To Metropolitan Problems In Michigan, Stephen M. Silverman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This note examines what seems to be the most viable solution for metropolitan problems in Michigan: county home rule, as authorized by the 1963 state constitution. Since the primary obstacle to the use of county- home rule as a vehicle for metropolitan reform appears to lie in the present statutory authority, the Michigan County Home Rule Act of 1966 (Act), considerable attention is given to the Act and to recent legislation proposed to amend the Act, Michigan House Bill 5464, introduced into the Michigan Legislature on June 21, 1971, and currently pending before the Michigan House Committee on Towns and …

The Presidential Veto Power: A Shallow Pocket, Michigan Law Review Nov 1971

The Presidential Veto Power: A Shallow Pocket, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Problems created by the uncertain scope of the President's pocket-veto power do not often arise, but neither are they a matter of purely academic interest. Indeed, two Senators who have questioned President Nixon's use of the pocket-veto power base their challenge on the ambiguous language of the pocket-veto provision. They argue that the pocket-veto provision was intended to apply only in circumstances involving a final adjournment at the end of a term or a session of Congress and was not intended to apply to brief adjournments-such as the 1970 Christmas recess-occurring within a session of Congress. Senator Kennedy contends that …


The Secret Foreign Bank Account And Legitimate Alternatives, Charles W. Adams Jan 1971

The Secret Foreign Bank Account And Legitimate Alternatives, Charles W. Adams

Articles, Chapters in Books and Other Contributions to Scholarly Works

The author, a member of the California State Bar and consultant, Euro-Dutch Trust Company, George Town, Grand Cayman, B. W. I., labels the use of the secret foreign bank account "foolish and lazy." He suggests that the taxpayer can reduce his tax bite through tax deferral planning, an area in which legislation has been continued and expanded.

Comments On Powell V. Mccormick, Charles E. Rice Jan 1969

Comments On Powell V. Mccormick, Charles E. Rice

Journal Articles

Powell v. McCormack is an unfortunate decision, principally because the Supreme Court should never have exercised its jurisdiction over the case. The ruling, however, is chiefly open to criticism, not because it is demonstrably contrary to established rules of law, but because it runs counter to those less clearly articulated, and essentially precatory, admonitions of judicial restraint which are implicit in the separation of governmental powers. The crucial point is not the jurisdiction of the subject matter, the Speech or Debate Clause, the issue of mootness raised by Justice Stewart in dissent or the substantive merits of Adam Clayton Powell's …


Proposed Legislation To Implement The Convention Method Of Amending The Constitution, Sam J. Ervin Jr. Mar 1968

Proposed Legislation To Implement The Convention Method Of Amending The Constitution, Sam J. Ervin Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Article V of the Constitution of the United States provides that constitutional amendments may be proposed in either of two ways--by two-thirds of both houses of the Congress or by a convention called by the Congress in response to the applications of two-thirds of the state legislatures. Although the framers of the Constitution evidently contemplated that the two methods of initiating amendments would operate as parallel procedures, neither superior to the other, this has not been the case historically. Each of the twenty-five constitutional amendments ratified to date was proposed by the Congress under the first alternative. As a result, …


The Dirksen Amendment And The Article V Convention Process, Arthur Earl Bonfield Mar 1968

The Dirksen Amendment And The Article V Convention Process, Arthur Earl Bonfield

Michigan Law Review

This article will concentrate on the legal issues facing Congress in the current effort to call a constitutional convention. Because all of the previous amendments to the Constitution were proposed to the states by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, the issues raised in the present situation have never been resolved. The appropriate course of action for the national legislature is especially in doubt. An attempt will therefore be made here to focus on proper decision-making by Congress in resolving these constitutional issues. The role of the judiciary will be considered only incidentally, since, as will be seen, …


Constitutional Law--Commerce Clause--1966 Amendments To Fair Labor Standards Act Extending Coverage To Employees In State-Operated Schools, Hospitals, And Related Institutions Held Constitutional--Maryland V. Wirtz, Michigan Law Review Feb 1968

Constitutional Law--Commerce Clause--1966 Amendments To Fair Labor Standards Act Extending Coverage To Employees In State-Operated Schools, Hospitals, And Related Institutions Held Constitutional--Maryland V. Wirtz, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In 1966, Congress amended the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and for the first time extended the coverage of the minimum wage and overtime provisions to employees in state-operated schools, hospitals, and related institutions. The State of Maryland, joined by twenty-seven other states, brought an action to enjoin enforcement of the amendments insofar as they applied to these state-operated facilities and sought a declaratory judgment ruling the amendments unconstitutional. The states asserted that the amendments were unconstitutional in two respects. First, they contended that the "enterprise" concept of FLSA coverage, which extended the Act to cover all employees of an …

The United States Congress And Internal Reform, Robert F. Sittig Dec 1966

The United States Congress And Internal Reform, Robert F. Sittig

Vanderbilt Law Review

It has now been twenty years since the United States altered its internal machinery in a comprehensive attempt at modernization. Its willingness, in 1946, to adopt most of the changes suggested by a congressional study committee indicated the timeliness of that reorganization. The basic areas changed were: standing committees (size,jurisdiction, membership and operating procedures); regulation of lobby groups; coordination and supervision of fiscal affairs; and the bringing of professional research staffs to Congress. Most of these modifications were quickly implemented after passage of the act.' Of those given a trial, many met the test of time and have become a …
