Supreme Court Rules Powell Seats Must Be Recognized
The Supreme Court, in a 7 to 1 ruling, repudiated the House of Representatives for barring Rep. Adam Clayton Powell from the last Congress. It held Congress cannot deny a member elect his seat if he meets age, residence, and citizenship, and rejected claims that federal courts lack jurisdiction to intervene in congressional matters. Chief Justice Warren stated the House and Senate may discipline members once seated, but Powell was duly elected by Harlem’s 18th District and not ineligible, so the House lacked power to exclude him. The decision, before term end, sparked anticipated criticism in Congress.
