		Congress is said to have inflicted this punishment upon respondents because it disapproved the beliefs they were thought to hold.
		To characterize an act of Congress as a bill of attainder readily enlists, however, the instincts of a free people who are committed to a fair judicial process for the determination of issues affecting life, liberty, or property and naturally abhor anything that resembles legislative determination of guilt and legislative punishment.
		If Congress chooses to say that men shall not be paid, or even that they shall be removed from their jobs, we cannot decide that Congress also said that they are guilty of an offense.

		These breaks are not labeled by Congress as vacations, but as either "recesses" or "district work periods." The change in terminology was deliberate, to let the electorate know that work continues during these breaks, it just changes location from Washington, D.C. to the local area.
		During the last decade, from the 100th-105th Congress, legislators averaged 312 days in legislative session per two-year Congress, spread over an average of months, and interrupted by extended breaks spent back in their districts and states.
		From the 1st Congress to the 15th, no breaks were taken, with two brief exceptions.

	General of the Army (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The grade of general was revived under the title of "General of the Army of the United States," by the act of 25 July 1866, and was conferred upon Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant; and was recognized and continued by Section 9 of the Act of 28 July 1866.

		The Congress has been able to recapture very little of this usurped authority from the bureaucrats because, until the convening of the 78th Congress, at least, it lacked an independent majority large enough to pass the necessary remedial legislation.
		Congress was unwilling to make such a large appropriation at this time and we have to be content for the present with half that amount.
		Congress had passed the largest Federal-aid bill in history and he expected steel controls to be eased by summer.

	ThisNation.com--United States v. Lovett
		Nor can we agree with counsel for Congress that the Section did not provide for the dismissal of respondet but merely forbade governmental agencies to compensate respondents for their work or to incur obligations for such compensation at any and all times.
		The Section's language as well as the circumstances of its passage which we have just described show that no mere question of compensation procedure or of appropriations was involved, but that it was designed to force the employing agencies to discharge respondents and to bar their being hired by any other governmental agency.
		What was challenged therefore is a statute which, because of what Congress thought to be their political beliefs, prohibited respondents from ever engaging in any government work, except as jurors or soldiers.

		In effect, Congress was relying upon the fact that at the time of enactment certain schools had survived in the marketplace and were deemed qualified by an "appropriate" State agency.
		In the administration of the World War II GI Bill, the VA was charged by Congress with overly restricting a veteran's use of benefits by limiting the individual to his or her original program.
		While Congress has gradually broadened the opportunities for changes of program, it has clearly indicated that the choice of a program is relevant and important to whether benefits will be paid.

		Members of Congress picked up on families' fears that the higher education they so value for their children might be out of financial reach, and decided to do something about it.
		Congress also spent a great deal of energy debating how to best protect men's athletic teams from elimination and to ensure due process when sports are removed.

		The bill presented to the Congress was limited to 12 projects for aircraft development because of budgetary limitations, and the 12 projects selected for recommendation were those which were considered of immediate strategic importance.
		In addition to the $65,000,000 authorized to be expended for Naval air bases, the Congress authorized an appropriation of $54,674,500 for the construction of public-works projects, including the building of dry docks at various places in the United States and its possessions.

		In support of its proposal, the Army argued that it was inequitable that combat personnel were not eligible for extra pay when other personnel assigned to flying duty, submarine duty, parachute duty, and other hazardous duties were receiving extra pay.
		The departmental differences were resolved by the Secretary of Defense, and a legislative proposal was submitted to Congress that reflected the essence of the Army position.

		The reason for the charge is to establish a reserve against which the FHA can draw to cover the costs of meeting obligations on defaulted loans.
		When the SMI program was set up in 1954, Congress indicated that the FHA mortgage premiums of in-service personnel were subsidized because no charges were imposed under the GI Bill for which SMI was supposed to be an in-service substitute.
		This subsidy was not discontinued, even though the later extension of GI Bill eligibility to in-service personnel removed the original reason for it.

	U.S. v. Lovett, 328 U.S. 303 (1946)
		According to the view we take we need not decide whether Section 304 is an unconstitutional encroachment on executive power or a denial of due process of law, and the section is not challenged on the ground that it violates the First Amendment.
		Nor can we agree with counsel for Congress that the Section did not provide for the dismissal of respondent but merely forbade governmental agencies to compensate respondents for their work or to incur obligations for such compensation at any and all times.
		No one would think that Congress could have passed a valid law, stating that after investigation it had found Lovett, Dodd, and Watson 'guilty' of the crime of engaging in 'subversive activities,' defined that term for the first time, and sentenced them to perpetual exclusion from any government employment.
