Q
When the Legislative Veto is at Issue
A
Usually when Congress delegates discretionary authority to the President or an executive agency, so the delegation issue arises as well, and then tries to control the discretion by requiring the agency to present the action to Congress for final approval so that, if Congress vetoes it, the action does not go through.
