Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha Case Brief Summary | Law Case Explained

Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha | 462 U.S. 919 (1983)
In Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha, the Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of the legislative veto. Congress commonly used legislative vetoes to supervise and control administrative agencies to which it delegated authority. Legislative vetoes allowed either house of Congress to overrule an agency action with a simple majority vote.

The House of Representatives exercised a legislative veto in an immigration case involving Chadha. Chadha was an East Indian from Kenya. He’d entered the United States lawfully in 1966, but remained after his visa expired in 1972. An immigration judge ordered that Chadha’s deportation be suspended, because Chadha met the statutory requirements to stay in the United States.

Very in depth and helpful, thank you.

As a matter of policy legislative veto is a good idea as it allows elected bodies to closely exercise executive oversight. But it violates the separation of powers
