The Ordinance Making Powers Of The President Of The United States PDF Download

Excerpt from The Ordinance-Making Powers of the President of the United States The primary aim of this dissertation is to establish the term ordinance as an accurately defined technical term, as a distinct category of American jurisprudence, and to illustrate its meaning and its significance by an analysis of the ordinance-making powers of the President of the United States. The term has an established place in legal and political treatises in continental Europe, as the ordinance-making power has an established place in continental governmental practice. In English constitutional history also the ordinance has its significant role. But the fundamental principle of legislative predominance, firmly established by the revolution of 1688, and carried to its logical extreme under the influence of democracy, had until recently all but eliminated the power of ordinance in practice and obscured it as a phrase in legal usage not only in England but also in America. The older works on American law and government do not use the term except with reference to enactments of municipal corporations. It is only in comparatively recent years that the increased quantity and complexity of economic legislation has brought in its train government by commission and the delegation in England and America of more and more rule-making powers to executive or administrative agencies.
