Summary:

Addresses whether or not an authorized house of Congress has standing to sue the executive branch regarding manner in which it executes the law. Examines areas in which courts have provided relatively definitive analysis regarding Congressional standing. Discusses Raines v. Byrd and its progeny, to explain how a court analyzes assertions of institutional injuries when the plaintiff is an individual Member. Discusses cases brought by institutional plaintiffs based on institutional injuries regarding information access, namely suits seeking to enforce a Congressional subpoena. Addresses questions unresolved by the courts that may be relevant in determining whether the House has standing in a suit filed pursuant to H.Res. 676, which authorizes the Speaker of the House to "initiate or intervene in one or more civil actions on behalf of the House of Representatives."
