Description

Case summary: The United States District Court, District of Columbia held that the action against the President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, for failure to appoint members to the National Advisory Council on Indian Education, pursuant to the Indian Education Act, was maintainable and should be decided on the merits. The Court denied the government's suggestion for dismissal on the basis that the action lacked subject matter jurisdiction and was related to executive, discretionary or political acts. President Nixon subsequently made appointments to the National Advisory Council on Indian Education on May 5, 1973, which lead the Court to issue a separate order on May 8, 1973 dismissing the case as moot.
