United States v. United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (1972) Overview |

The case is about whether the President can allow electronic surveillance without a warrant for national security reasons. The lower courts said that the surveillance was illegal and broke the Fourth Amendment. The Supreme Court looked at whether the Constitution gives the President this power, and decided that Congress can't give the President more power than the Constitution allows. Congress didn't mean to give the President power to bypass the Fourth Amendment. The Supreme Court said that in cases like this, where national security is involved, there should still be a process to get a warrant.
