Constitution — Separation of Powers
Clients have frequently called upon Cooper & Kirk to represent them in disputes over major separation of powers issues. Among other matters, we have mounted successful separation of powers attacks on the structure of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the line-item veto, and the composition of the Federal Election Commission. Lawyers at our firm have been actively involved in separation of powers matters for decades, with the Chairman of our firm having advised the Reagan Administration on separation of powers issues during his tenure as the head of the Office of Legal Counsel.
