Chadha: The Story of an Epic Constitutional Struggle

By Barbara Hinkson Craig

Book Overview

In 1973 Jagdish Chadha found himself a man without a country, the victim of the decolonization of Kenya where, as a Kenyan of Indian descent, he was not allowed to return after having spent six years in the U.S. as a student. Barbara Hinkson Craig describes Chadha's effort to achieve legal residency in the U.S. and shows how it led to the Supreme Court decision to overrule the legislative veto, adjusting the balance of powers in the United States government.

Excelent

Craig does a great job of of filling in the background on a very important case. Too bad it is out of print.
