Edward Patrick Boland
[edit]Who is this guy named Boland?Lan Di 20:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind, his name is Edward Patrick Boland. Lan Di 20:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Intro
[edit]In the first line, we need a concise summary of what the amendment actually said/did. Ojcit 05:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Background
[edit]When referencing the notion that the CIA's acts of sabotage upset the Republican-controlled Senate, I see a fallacy. The Democrats swept the Congressional elections in 1982, and I would find it hard to believe that a Republican Congress would be outraged with a Republican President. Emir Faisal 07:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Background Item
[edit]Last paragraph unequivocally states that the secret diversion fo funds by Col. North received "explicit presidential approval". If that were a non-debatable fact, we would have been talking about the '86 Democratic Congress attempting to impeach Reagan. Hence, I insert the qualifier "some allege". 65.115.32.162 00:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Characterization of Civil War
[edit]I edited the first sentence to make it nPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.102.193 (talk) 03:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Impounding
[edit]An editor made an edit which was reverted, concerning "impoundment." Editors should be aware that impoundment has been around since Jefferson, though not used much until Franklin Roosevelt. Used a lot afterwards to derail projects the President disapproved of. In the continuing war between the two branches, this came to a head during the Nixon administration and the President lost this option for all time for all future presidents. But Nixon didn't make this up! Student7 (talk) 00:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Legislative Chronology Section
[edit]The legislative chronology section seems a little out of place and clunky. Is it a common part of entries concerning legislation? If not should it be removed and the information added in a more readable way?Sdr1453 (talk) 20:02, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've seen them be like that before (sometimes, just bullet points)....but if there is a way to make it more readible, please do so by all means.Rja13ww33 (talk) 14:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
