Abstract

Recent controversies have called attention to the potential significance of negative executive authority — the authority to limit or undo what Congress has done through nonenforcement or waiver. This symposium essay reflects in several ways on constitutional and rule-of-law debates that have emerged regarding such authority. First, it defends the relevance of constitutional principles to baseline understandings of nonenforcement authority. Second, it identifies a deep tension in the rule of law’s implications for discretionary enforcement. Third, it defends statutorily conferred law-cancellation authority against constitutional challenges and rule-of-law objections. Finally, it proposes presumptive limits on authority to condition statutory waivers.
寻找负面权力的基线:关于不执行和放弃的宪法和法治争论
最近的争议引起了人们对消极行政权力的潜在重要性的关注,这种权力可以限制或撤销国会通过不执行或放弃所做的事情。这篇专题讨论会文章从几个方面反映了关于这种权威的宪法和法治辩论。首先,它为宪法原则与对非强制执行权的基本理解的相关性进行了辩护。其次,它指出了法治对自由裁量执法的影响中存在的深刻矛盾。第三,它捍卫法定授予的法律撤销权,反对宪法挑战和法治反对。最后,它提出了对权力的推定限制,以限制法定豁免。
