Holding
Congress's Process Act validly empowered the federal courts to regulate their own modes of proceeding, including the execution of judgments, without an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power: while important subjects must be entirely regulated by the legislature itself, matters of detail may be committed to those who act under a general legislative provision. The States have no power, under the Judiciary Act or independently, to control the proceedings of the federal courts or the conduct of their officers.
