Periodic renewal of the Reorganization Act of 1939, each time more restrictive in its grant of organizational initiative to the president, ceased to be requested in the later years of President Carter's term.

8. This remains the bias in American provision of 'direct relief', or 'welfare' for that matter, with the New Deal proviso that federal dollars through the states is an acceptable financial mechanism.
9. Unfortunately, the Court's holdings thus far recently do not suggest a consistent pattern. See, for example, the following preliminary decisions: United States v. Locke, Governor of Washington, 98-1701 (2000); Rice v. Cayetano, Governor of Hawaii, 98-818 (2000); and Hunt-Wesson, Inc. v. Franchise Tax Board of California, 98-2043 (2000).

Senator Bricker's draft amendment 'would have emasculated the President's power to make executive arrangements and convert the treaty power, already difficult in the constitutional arrangement, into the most cumbersome in the world' (Louis W. Koenig, The Chief Executive, 5th edn (San Diego, Calif.: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1986) p. 158).
