Bipartisan

What does Bipartisan mean in American Law?

The definition of Bipartisan in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

In systems with two dominant political parties, a course of action in which both parties work together, submerging partisan disputes from some perceived greater national good, as in wartime “bipartisan foreign policy,” (which more often was called nonpartisan). In some instances, certain organs of government, e.g., some municipal boards, and federal administrative agencies, are required by law to be bipartisan. This only rarely means that they must have equal membership from each party, but rather than there be some representation of each, with the usual pattern being that the minority be assured only one vote less.
