7. 脈絡二: 儘管國會(立法權)對於總統(行政權)就外交事務不得

1. 常常在服貿立法監督爭議中被引用的美國判例:
United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp.(1936)
判決中這句話也常被引用
“It is important to bear in mind that we are here dealing
not alone with an authority vested in the President by an
exertion of legislative power, but with such an authority
plus the very delicate, plenary and exclusive power of the
President as the sole organ of the federal government in
the field of international relations–a power which does not
require as a basis for its exercise an act of Congress, but
which, of course, like every other governmental power,
must be exercised in subordination to the applicable
provisions of the Constitution.”
