Buckley    1. Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court, which held that limits on election spending in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 § 608 are unconstitutional. In a per curiam ("by the Court") opinion, they ruled that expenditure limits contravene the First Amendment provision on freedom of speech because a restriction on spending for political communication necessarily reduces the quantity of expression. It limited disclosure provisions and limited the Federal Election Commission's power. 2. Someone who refers to himself as Chairman and serves beyond a reasonable time in one position.
