AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 2022) [Remember the Trade Center!!]

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!!

Good morning!!

We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!!

The Communists in power in Congress have amassed quite a record in their first 45 days toward dismantling the security of the Nation:

** Resolution nominally supporting the troops but condeming them for the war--nominally the job of the army.

** Introduction of legislation to provide reduced tuition rates to illegal aliens.

** Formation of a Committee to reduce the production capability of the industrial complex through carbon dioxide emission caps.

** Raising of the minimum wage to put people out of work, further reducing the output of the industrial complex.

** Introduction of legislation that would bar removal of an alien parent who happens to have a United States citizen as a child (note--this would apply to border crossers who come here to simply have the child!).

** Introduction of legislation that would require police to collect statistics on the number of times the immigration status of people were checked during traffic stops.

And there's probably more--the House already having introduced more than 1,000 pieces of legislation (source: Thomas database). And, where, exactly, do things seem to be going?

One piece of legislation is the "Congressional Lawmaking Authority Protection Act of 2007". This bill reads as follows:

---

Congressional Lawmaking Authority Protection Act of 2007 (Introduced in House)

HR 264 IH

110th CONGRESS

1st Session

H. R. 264

To prevent the President from encroaching upon the Congressional prerogative to make laws, and for other purposes.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

January 5, 2007

Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

---

A BILL

To prevent the President from encroaching upon the Congressional prerogative to make laws, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Congressional Lawmaking Authority Protection Act of 2007'.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings- The Congress makes the following findings:

(1) The Framers of the Constitution understood that the power to make laws is such an awesome power that they intended it to be exercised by the most democratic branch of government.

(2) To ensure that the lawmaking power would be exercised by the branch of government that is the closest and most accountable to the people the Constitution provides that `All legislative power herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.'.

(3) The Constitution limits the role of the President in the lawmaking process to--

(A) giving Congress information on the State of the Union;

(B) recommending to Congress for consideration such measures as the President deems necessary and expedient; and

(C) approving or vetoing bills and joint resolutions presented to him for signature.

(4) Statements made by the President contemporaneously with the signing of a bill or joint resolution that express the President's interpretation of the scope, constitutionality, and intent of Congress in enacting the bill or joint resolution presented for signature encroach upon the power to make laws that the Framers vested solely in the Congress.

(5) According to a May 5, 2006, editorial in the New York Times, the current President of the United States has issued more than 750 `presidential signing statements' declaring he would not do what the laws required, the most notorious example of which is the signing statement issued by the President asserting he was not bound by the Congressional ban on the torture of prisoners.

(6) On June 5, 2006, the American Bar Association created a 10-member Blue-Ribbon `Task Force on Presidential Signing Statements and the Separation of Powers Doctrine' to take a balanced, scholarly look at the use and implications of signing statements, and to propose appropriate ABA policy consistent with the ABA's commitment to safeguarding the rule of law and the separation of powers in our system of government.

(7) On July 24, 2006, the Task Force determined that signing statements that signal the president's intent to disregard laws adopted by Congress undermine the separation of powers by depriving Congress of the opportunity to override a veto, and by shutting off policy debate between the two branches of government. According to the Task Force, such presidential signing statements operate as a `line item veto,' which the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional. The Task Force strongly recommended the Congress to enact appropriate legislation to ensure that such presidential signing statements do not undermine the rule of law and the constitutional system of separation of powers.

(b) Purposes- The purposes of this Act are--

(1) to preserve the separation of powers intended by the Framers by preventing the President from encroaching upon the Congressional prerogative to make law; and

(2) to ensure that no Federal or State executive or independent agency, and no Federal or State judge, can attach legal significance to any presidential signing statement when construing any law enacted by the Congress.

SEC. 3. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS.

(a) Limitation on Use of Funds- None of the funds made available to the Executive Office of the President, or to any Executive agency (as defined in section 105 of title 5 of the United States Code), from any source may be used to produce, publish, or disseminate any statement made by the President contemporaneously with the signing of any bill or joint resolution presented for signing by the President.

(b) Application of Limitation- Subsection (a) shall apply only to statements made by the President regarding the bill or joint resolution presented for signing that contradict, or are inconsistent with, the intent of Congress in enacting the bill or joint resolution or that otherwise encroach upon the Congressional prerogative to make laws.

SEC. 4. CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF ACTS OF CONGRESS.

For purposes of construing or applying any Act enacted by the Congress, a governmental entity shall not take into consideration any statement made by the President contemporaneously with the President's signing of the bill or joint resolution that becomes such Act.

---

In other words--the President will not be allowed to even comment on any legislation passed by Congress.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

As I tell my doctor when he tells me to go to another kind of Dr I ask him if that is a cousin on his side or his wifes.

[gulfcoast6]

Sorry I missed you while you were on today, was 'visiting' the doctors in town so I can make their house payments.

I Pray that all is going well with you and you brothers and you all stay safe, ya hear?

When I broke the tip of my radial, which is just below the thumb, at the beginning of the arm, my Dr was able to manipulate the radial tip back in place and put 2 pins through it to hold it in p;ace. He then put a cast over it up and inclubing my elbow, to keep the radial bone from moving. So, though they put me to sleep, I did not need surgery. After the second cast was removed, he allowed the swelling to go down for about 2 weeks. After he looked at the stiffness in my wrist, hand and fingers, he put me in therapy. Today was the second session. I did great until the therapist worked on my fingers...ACH Mensch, she bent the fingers toward the palm and it did smart, a lot. I stand or try to when something hurts, the butt lifter, she held my wrist to the table so I couldn't lift. She was pleased with the progress after one session, so tonight I'll do the moist heat and the excersises. If I can loosen the fingers, hopefully she won't be messing with them on Friday.

Also Dog, a sagging butt is a sign of having lived a full and interesting life.

[tillacum]

Sleep well dear friend. Hello to your tent mates. We'll be looking for you tomorrow.

[tillacum]

I take Cinnamon Extract from the Vitamin Shoppe.

[tillacum]

I'm all alone here, so I'll check out for awhile and fix dinner.

[JemiansTerror]

'visiting' the doctors in town

Hopefully nothing too serious. I'll be praying for you.

[Jemian]

Hey, JT. do you have the day off?

[Jemian]

Well, apparently our ships didn't cross in the night or in this day, either. I gotta go out and hunt up a few things, including headphones with microphone. Things are easier to find, but still a bit challenging. I love you. Bible Study tonight at the Beekman's house (only the Lopez's live there).

[JemiansTerror]

Hey Mom. I'm sorry that I missed you too. We had a command maintinence day, so I was greasing trucks, and looking at compaction machines for about two hours or so.

Hopefully you will get back on soon so we can chat. TTFN

[The Raven]

Hey there JT, J

What time zones are we all in?

[The Raven]

I got this in email yesterday:

"....Please join fellow Patriots and sign this petition to Stop Albert Gore and Reject the UN's Global Warming Treaty (see text below). Gore is reenergizing the movement advocating Kyoto compliance. We urge you to sign this petition today, and reject Gore's advocacy for UN control of the U.S. economy."

hi Raven & JT

been up since 4. (really got to bed early)


Just walked the pups a bit ago to the end of the cul de sac.. so nice to not have my face freeze by the time I am at the end of the driveway. It is pretty sorry to be happy for 30 degrees! Just like being happy for gas that is 2.19!

[DollyCali]

Also Dog, a sagging butt is a sign of having lived a full and interesting life.

well now, isn't that a nice tidbit to know!

[JemiansTerror]

I dont even know what time zone I'm in. The Army said something about Bagdad time, but I really dont know.

[DollyCali]

I did tai chi for a set of classes that I loved. But it was a 29 mile ride & I just couldn't justify the time/expense at the time.. Wish there were something closeby that was in my budget

[DollyCali]

Have you met up with allegra (civie) over there yet?

[JemiansTerror]

Howdy Cali. How is life in the fair US?

[The Raven]

We've got a heat wave for a few days......in the 60's
