Practice question
A law grants the President a particular administrative power but expressly requires advance notice to affected persons. Officials invoke only Section 20 to dispense with the notice requirement. Which is best?
- A residual-powers citation deletes every condition in the source law.
- The preserved power remains bounded by the source law’s conditions; Section 20 alone does not erase the notice requirement.
- A power vested by law can never have procedural limits.
- Only a private association may decide whether statutes apply.
- Section 20 automatically amends every notice statute.
