Drawing on a data set of about 3,800 vetoes, as well as case studies and interviews, this volume examines how the US Congress has used the legislative veto as a statutory oversight device since 1932, and how and when Congress decides to delegate power and create statutes to facilitate oversight. It details the development and evolution of the oversight device from legislative and judicial perspectives; Supreme Court opinions in Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha, which declared the veto unconstitutional, and how the ruling affected the veto's continued applications; a transaction cost theoretical framework to examine congressional oversight and the veto; presidential reactions to the veto's use in terms of the presidential veto and the signing statement; issues where the veto is commonly used, such as national security, defense, and foreign policy; and its use at the state level.
