this provision amounts to a legislative veto over the president 's execution of the law since a <unk> resolution could be said to be <unk> adopted even though it would require neither <unk> action in congress nor presentation to the president for his signature or veto |
the supreme court 's decision in <unk> v. <unk> held that legislative <unk> are unconstitutional |
president bush should veto appropriations acts that contain these kinds of unconstitutional conditions on the president 's ability to <unk> his duties and exercise his prerogatives |
if president bush fails to do so in his first year he will <unk> congress for the remainder of his presidency to rewrite article ii of the constitution to suit its purposes |
what becomes custom in the bush administration will only become more difficult for future presidents including democrats to undo |
president reagan learned that lesson |
by N <unk> jim wright was discussing arms control in moscow with mikhail gorbachev and then attempting to direct the president through an appropriations rider to treat the soviets as though the senate had ratified salt ii |
if a veto is <unk> because it would leave part of the executive branch <unk> the president could sign the appropriations bills into law and <unk> a power of <unk> declaring the rider restricting his article ii powers to be unconstitutional and <unk> |
the constitution does not <unk> give the president such power |
however the president does have a duty not to violate the constitution |
the question is whether his only means of defense is the veto |
<unk> of appropriations riders that trespass on the president 's duties and <unk> under article ii would be different from the line-item veto |
as discussed in the context of controlling federal spending the line-item veto is characterized as a way for the president to <unk> perfectly constitutional provisions in a spending bill that are <unk> merely because they conflict with his policy objectives |
the <unk> of unconstitutional conditions in an appropriations bill would be a power of far more limited <unk> |
one could argue that it is not an <unk> of a item veto at all for the president by <unk> a power of <unk> to resist unconstitutional conditions in legislation that violate the separation of powers |
there is no downside if the president asserts a right of <unk> over unconstitutional conditions in the fiscal N appropriations bills |
if congress does nothing president bush will have won |
if congress takes the dispute to the supreme court assuming it can establish standing to sue president bush might win |
in that case he might receive an opinion from the court that is a <unk> of the president 's right to perform the duties and exercise the prerogatives the <unk> thought should be <unk> to the executive |
if president bush loses at the court it might be disappointing as morrison v. <unk> was for the reagan administration |
but the presidency would be no worse off than it is now |
moreover the <unk> would have received a valuable <unk> lesson in how the separation of powers works in practice |
as it stands now congress <unk> after the reagan administration that the white house will take unconstitutional provisions in appropriations bills lying down |
president bush should set things straight |
if he does not he will help realize madison 's fear in the <unk> no. N of a legislature everywhere extending the <unk> of its activity and drawing all powers into its <unk> <unk> |
mr. <unk> served as an attorney in the reagan administration |
his longer analysis of executive power and the appropriations clause is to appear in the duke law journal later this year |
despite one of the most devastating <unk> on record net cash income in the farm belt rose to a new high of $ N billion last year |
the previous record was $ N billion in N according to the agriculture department |
net cash income the amount left in farmers ' pockets after <unk> expenses from gross cash income increased in N states in N as the drought cut into crop yields and drove up commodity prices the department 's economic research service reported yesterday |
most of those states set farm income records |
the worst crop damage occurred in the midwestern corn belt and the northern great plains |
what saved many farmers from a bad year was the opportunity to reclaim large quantities of grain and other crops that they had <unk> to the government under <unk> loan programs |
with prices soaring they were able to sell the <unk> commodities at considerable profit the agency 's <unk> report said |
in less <unk> areas meanwhile farmers who had little or no loss of production <unk> greatly from the higher prices |
to the surprise of some analysts net cash income rose in some of the <unk> states including indiana illinois nebraska and the <unk> |
analysts attributed the increases partly to the $ N billion <unk> package enacted by congress |
last year 's record net cash income confirms the farm sector 's rebound from the agricultural depression of the early 1980s |
it also helps explain the reluctance of the major farm <unk> and many lawmakers to make any significant changes in the N farm program next year |
commodity prices have been rising in recent years with the farm price index hitting record <unk> earlier this year as the government curtailed production with <unk> programs to reduce <unk> surpluses |
at the same time export demand for u.s. wheat corn and other commodities strengthened said keith collins a department analyst |
farmers also benefited from strong livestock prices as the nation 's cattle inventory dropped close to a 30-year low |
all of these forces came together in N to benefit agriculture mr. collins said |
california led the nation with $ N billion in net cash income last year followed by texas $ N billion iowa $ N billion florida $ N billion and minnesota $ N billion |
iowa and minnesota were among the few major farm states to <unk> a decline in net cash income |
despite federal disaster relief the drought of N was a severe financial setback for an estimated N to N farmers according to the department |
many lost their farms |
department economists do n't expect N to be as good a year as N was |
indeed net cash income is likely to fall this year as farm expenses rise and government payments to farmers decline |
at the same time an increase of land under <unk> after the drought has boosted production of corn soybeans and other commodities causing a fall in prices that has been only partly <unk> by heavy grain buying by the soviets |
last year government payments to farmers slipped to less than $ N billion from a record $ N billion in N |
payments are expected to range between $ N billion and $ N billion this year |

its <unk> offices were designed by architect <unk> morgan who built the hearst castle at san <unk> |
william <unk> hearst had kept an apartment in the spanish <unk> building |
analysts said the herald 's demise does n't necessarily represent the overall condition of the newspaper industry |

financially it never recovered <unk> it had its moments |
in N hearst hired editor james <unk> who <unk> the editorial product considerably |
