Can Congress hand executive agencies sweeping power without clear limits?
In this episode of Unwritten Law, Mark Chenoweth and John Vecchione sit down with NCLA General Counsel Zhonette Brown to discuss a new Supreme Court petition challenging the EPA’s implementation of the AIM Act.
The case centers on whether Congress violated the Constitution’s Vesting Clause by giving the EPA broad discretion to decide which companies can participate in a multi-billion-dollar refrigerant market. According to the petition, Congress failed to provide an “intelligible principle” guiding those decisions—raising serious questions under the nondelegation doctrine, which prevents Congress from handing its legislative power to executive agencies.
The conversation explains why this case could become a major test for the Supreme Court and potentially reshape the limits of administrative power.
Topics include:
• The EPA’s refrigerant phase-down program
• The constitutional limits on congressional delegation
• The “intelligible principle” test
• Why the Supreme Court hasn’t struck down a statute under nondelegation in nearly 100 years
• What this case could mean for separation of powers
