If a court invalidates part of this chapter or its application to someone or some circumstance, the rest remains in effect to the fullest extent possible.
Congress declares that if any provision of this chapter, or its application to a person* or circumstance, is held invalid, the rest of the chapter remains unaffected. The same is true for applying that provision to people or circumstances not covered by the invalid ruling.
Notwithstanding any other evidences of the intention of Congress, it is hereby declared to be the controlling intent of Congress that if any provision of this chapter, or the application thereof to any person* or circumstances, is held invalid, the remainder of this chapter, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.
