enrolled-bill rule

A quick definition of enrolled-bill rule:

The enrolled-bill rule is a legal principle that says once a law is written down and approved by the people in charge, it cannot be challenged or changed. This means that the law is considered exactly how the people who made it intended it to be, and no one can argue about how it was written. The only time a court can look at the law again is to make sure that the people who voted on it followed the rules they were supposed to follow.

A more thorough explanation:

The enrolled-bill rule is a legal principle that states that once a statute has been formally approved and authenticated, it is considered to be exactly what the legislature intended. This means that no one can challenge the drafting of the bill.

For example, if a bill is passed by the legislature and then signed into law by the governor, it is considered to be final and cannot be challenged on the grounds of its drafting or wording. The courts will not look behind the enrolled bill to determine its validity, except to ensure that the constitutional requirements for passage have been met.

The enrolled-bill rule is designed to provide certainty and finality to the legislative process. It ensures that once a bill has been passed and signed into law, it cannot be challenged or overturned on the basis of minor technicalities or errors in drafting.
