Clinton v. City of New York (1998)

Read a random definition: avigational easement

A quick definition of Clinton v. City of New York (1998):

Clinton v. City of New York is a court case where the Supreme Court said that the President couldn't change parts of a law without going through the whole process of making a new law. The Line Item Veto Act was a law that let the President say no to one part of a big law without saying no to the whole thing. But the Supreme Court said that this was against the rules in the Constitution. The Constitution says that a law has to go through all the steps in Congress before the President can say yes or no to the whole thing. The Line Item Veto Act would have let the President change the law without going through all the steps, and that's not allowed.

A more thorough explanation:

Clinton v. City of New York is a Supreme Court case that dealt with the Line Item Veto Act. This act allowed the President to veto a single appropriation or tax benefit within a large appropriation or tax bill without having to veto the entire bill. The act was intended to limit government spending.

However, the Supreme Court ruled that the Line Item Veto Act was unconstitutional because it violated the Presentment Clause of the Constitution. This clause requires that a piece of legislation passed through both houses of Congress in its entirety before being signed or vetoed in its entirety by the President. By giving the President the discretion to accept or reject parts of the bill, the Act would have allowed the President to amend the laws that were presented, which would have gone against the Congressional purpose.

For example, if Congress passed a bill that included funding for a new highway and a tax break for small businesses, the President could veto the tax break without vetoing the entire bill. This would have given the President too much power to change laws without going through the proper legislative process.

In summary, Clinton v. City of New York struck down the Line Item Veto Act because it gave the President too much power to amend laws without going through the proper legislative process.

She seems depressed. Started watching my story on instagram more. Here videos aren't getting a lot of views on YouTube. I offered her a job doing architecture for celebrity houses back in June but she turned it down. Probably regrets it now. Haven't spoken to her since she got arrested.

I was in Citrin over in Santa Monica having dinner when this couple walked in and they were Icelandic and I had that Nordic connection to them so we chatted it up and then the Sommelier there was a long time friend of my family's and I found out these guys were like celebrity architects and I was all oh, I know this chick who is an architect who has like 1M tiktok followers and needs to rebrand and they were all oh, cool we would love to meet and hire her after learning she went to UCLA but then she just was like nah, I feel like failing for the next 6 months.

I give creatively inclined people a little more leeway with their behavior bc at least they’re interesting. I hate when someone is boring

Maybe. I wish they knew how to channel their creativity better. I feel I am a creative person too but I feel I know how to channel it into the drinks I make. She had some autistic savant gifts. Could draw/paint the most amazing shit.

This is like the most artsy restaurant I have ever been to. It was a total rip off but I will never have an experience like that again for at least a year.
hey all I think I must have asked this question here almost thrice and forgot to check but how do I see the stats to figure out if someone who applied in mid october to NYU but missed both waves so far still has a chance of getting in?
1:13
everyone literally needs to chill
1:13
just bc you missed 2 waves doesnt mean ur cooked. some people dont find out for 10 weeks
1:14
