Practice question
A constitutional command already states a sufficiently complete duty. Congress later provides forms to facilitate enforcement without changing that duty. What is the effect on its classification?
- The forms prove the duty was unenforceable before the statute.
- The forms repeal the constitutional duty.
- The duty becomes an executive privilege.
- Facilitating legislation is consistent with an already self-executing provision.
- Any procedural statute converts the provision into a nonbinding policy.
