Conyers v. Bush

Honorable John Conyers, Jr., et al. v. George W. Bush, et al., No. 2:06-CV-11972, 2006 WL 3834224 (E.D. Mich. 2006), is a lawsuit in which Rep. John Conyers Jr. and others alleged that President George W. Bush violated the United States Constitution by signing a bill that was not passed by the United States Congress.

Nature of claim

John Conyers (a ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee), along with 10 other members of Congress, filed a lawsuit on April 28, 2006 at the district court in Detroit^[1] seeking a restraining order (injunctive relief) preventing the execution of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, S. 1932. The plaintiffs also sought a declaration that the bill be declared unconstitutional and not valid law.

The case was dismissed on November 6, 2006 by federal judge Nancy G. Edmunds in Detroit, who cited the representatives' lack of standing.^[2]
