Welcome back to the second installment of our Learning Journey on executive reorganization authority. Today we review historical reorganization efforts. Let's get started! Executive reorganization authority: 1932-1981 From 1932 until 1981, Congress periodically authorized presidents to exercise reorganization authority subject to legislative veto provisions—resolutions passed by either one house of Congress, both houses of Congress, or a congressional committee that invalidated executive branch actions. After the United States Supreme Court declared the legislative veto unconstitutional in the 1983 case Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) v. Chadha, the process of authorizing presidential reorganization authority changed from a resolution of disapproval via the legislative veto to a resolution of approval. This change shifted the burden of action from the executive branch to the legislative branch by requiring Congress to actively approve any reorganization proposals. The most recent presidential reorganization authority expired under President Ronald Reagan (R) in 1984.   Requests for reorganization authority: 1984 - Present Since 1984, the following presidential administrations have recommended or requested renewal of reorganization authority: The Clinton Administration’s National Performance Review initially recommended that Congress reauthorize presidential reorganization authority, but President Bill Clinton (D) never directly requested authorization. President George W. Bush (R) requested reorganization authority in 2002, but Congress declined to enact the required legislation. President Barack Obama (D) requested reorganization authority in 2012, which Congress declined. President Donald Trump (R) requested reorganization authority in 2018. Legislation to grant Trump reorganization authority, the Reforming Government Act of 2018, failed to pass the 115th Congress. Read On: Legislative veto     What’s next?
