Summary:

Examines Congressional ability to participate in litigation before courts, as either a plaintiff or as a third-party intervener, in light of Article III of the Constitution, which limits Federal judicial authority in the interests of separation of powers. Explains Article III standing, discusses participation of individual Members of Congress before and after Raines v. Byrd, reviews jurisdiction of Article III courts, and addresses participation of Congress as an institution in Article III courts.
