Class Nine -- Thursday, February 27th

Howell E. Jackson

In today's class, we will continue our discussion of Presidential spending powers, starting first with the topic of line item vetos, which came before the Supreme Court in Clinton v. City of New York 524 U.S. 417 (1998). We will then review the topic of reprogramming, which was touched upon in Chapter Ten of Schick, The Federal Budget, and is explored in more detail in Takeshi Fujitani & Jared Shirck, "Executive Spending Powers: The Capacity to Reprogram, Rescind, and Impound" (May 3, 2005) (Briefing Paper No. 8). Additional perspectives on Executive spending powers are presented in the allocated briefing papers for today's class.
