Practice question
A citizen brings an appropriate Supreme Court proceeding challenging the sufficiency of the factual basis of a martial-law proclamation. The Executive argues that Congress’s decision not to revoke the proclamation bars any judicial review. Which statement best describes the Constitution’s design?
- Congressional non-revocation erases the Supreme Court’s express review authority.
- Only the President may judge the factual basis.
- The Constitution separately authorizes Supreme Court review of factual sufficiency in an appropriate citizen proceeding.
- A citizen may obtain review only if every Senator joins the petition.
- Martial law suspends the Constitution and therefore all review.
