22 U.S.C. § 8103Severability

submitted 20 years ago by Pub. L. 109-401 to r/title-22-FOREIGN-RELATIONS-AND-INTERCOURSE · 50 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This is a severability clause. If a court strikes down one part of this chapter, the rest of the chapter still stands. The same is true if a rule turns out invalid only for certain people or situations — it still applies to everyone else.

This section is a severability clause for the chapter it belongs to. If a court ever finds one provision of this chapter invalid — meaning it can't legally stand — that doesn't wreck the rest of the chapter. The rest of the chapter keeps working as law. The same idea applies if a specific provision turns out invalid only as applied to certain people or situations. That provision can still apply normally to every other person or situation it wasn't found invalid for. In short: one bad piece doesn't bring down the whole chapter, and a rule that fails in one case can still work in other cases.

If any provision of this chapter, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, 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.
