Multiple choice

The Supreme Court invalidated a "legislative veto" in INS v. Chadha (1983). Has this decision significantly hampered efforts in Congress to control the work of federal administrative agencies?

  1. No, because the Chadha opinion spoke only about a rarely-used "committee veto" and left in place any one-house or two-house vetoes.

  2. Yes, because there are too many agencies for Congress to effectively monitor their budgets.

  3. No, because Chadha only applied to legislative meddling in what was essentially an adjudication about an individual’s immigration status.

  4. No, because Congress still passes legislation restricting agency spending and limiting their authority to make rules on certain subjects.
