    The correct answer is C.

    The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) v. Chadha was a US Supreme Court ruling enacted in 1983 which declared that the one-house legislative veto had violated the principle of division of powers included in the US Constitution.

    The Congress is not allowed to promulgate a statute that grants to itself the power of exercising a legislative veto over goverment actions, because such enactment is inscosistent with the bicameralism principle that governs the legislative branch of power in the US.

    Moreover, the Congress had undertaken an adjudicative and not a legislative action and is exceeding the powers reserved to the legislative branch and it is violating the so-called anti-aggrandizement principle.
