” Severable vs nonseverable.

I may be mis-remembering, but I vaguely recall some discussion about how, in the rush to get Obamacare passed, the ‘severability clause’ (boilerplate) was inadvertently omitted....

It ceratainly DOES apply to legislation and the usual boiler plate clause to make it severable was not in the version that passed.

That has been discussed many times on this forum.
