Mr. President. in the Supreme Courts recently issued decision in the case of the Immigration and Naturalization Service against Chadha. the Court stated broadly and clearly that any legislative veto requiring less than bicameral approval and presentment to the President is unconstitutional. That decision struck down approximately 100 legislative veto provisions in current law. In the wake of that decision. everyone is wondering whether the executive or the legislative branch gains power in" the short and long run and what the practical effects of the decision will be. I would like to draw the attention of my colleagues to a provision contained in this DOD authorization bill. which will be the first Senate action.
