In Frothingham v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447 (1923), this Court held that Article III and the separation of powers generally standing to sue based merely on plaintiff's status as a taxpayer. An narrow and liberal exception to this rule was established in Flast v. Cohen, 392 U.S. 83 (1968), for Establishment Clause cases.
