It is frequently difficult to pass federal legislation because any law must be passed by both the House and Senate then signed by the President. Professor John McGinnis explains that this is an important protection for federalism.

Professor John O. McGinnis is the George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University School of Law.
