section::::legislative power.









































congress has the sole power to legislate for the united states. under the nondelegation doctrine, congress may not delegate its lawmaking responsibilities to any other agency. in this vein, the supreme court held in the 1998 case "clinton v. city of new york" that congress could not delegate a "line-item veto" to the president, by powers vested in the government by the constitution.

the president also have significant lawmaking powers, exercised either by proposing laws to the national congress, or else by using "medidas provisórias" (provisional measures), an instrument with the force of law that the president can enact in cases of urgency and necessity, except to make changes to some areas of law (provisional measures cannot be used to change criminal law, electoral law, to abolish individual rights or to alter the fundamental framework of the state — the separation of powers and the federal republic). a provisional measure comes into effect immediately, before congress votes on it, and remains in force for up to 60 days unless congress votes to rescind it. this 60-day period can be extended once, up to a maximum of 120 days. if congress, on the other hand, votes to approve the provisional measure, it becomes an actual law, with changes decided by the legislative branch. the provisional measure expires at the end of the 60-day period (or 120-day, in case of extension), or sooner, if rejected by one of the houses of congress.
