Sounds good.
Novel, even!!
LOL, this would have been a good Idea before the Civil War. Now?
Authorization for Bill 1X: 14th Amendment.
Authorization for Bill 2X: 14th Amendment.
Authorization for Bill 3X: 14th Amendment.
Authorization for Bill 4X: 14th Amendment.
Authorization for Bill 5X: 14th Amendment.
Authorization for Bill 6X: 14th Amendment.
...
Although this will draw attention to That Which Shall Not Be Noticed.
So that's good.
Make voting on any bill only for those critters who can pass the “Understanding the Constitution Test”.
A worthy idea. Lets hope and pray that they follow through.
Super thumbs up!!
Great beginning, however, I will keep my excitement in check until I see that only laws that pass Constitutional muster, are passes.
I will really get excited when current laws are checked for Constitutionality, and repealed if they don’t.
The Constitutional Authority that will be cited in the vast majority of the Bills will be the “Commerce Clause”, which provides the justification for everything from condoms to toilet paper.....
This is grounds for optimism. I’ve been pretty cranky today.
It’s a start....got to start some place...and this is a good place...
Please, may it be so.
Finally, someone using their heads. Make waves...do your jobs. Don’t be intimidated.
Also since the left can change the rules in mid stream then the right
can do the same.
It’s our turn.
Take no prisoners.
Let’s Roll!
Step up and you will see the money roll in.
When Republicans take over next week, they will do something that apparently has never been done before in the 221-year history of the House of Representatives.
They will read the Constitution aloud.
And then they will require that every new bill contain a statement by the legislator who wrote it citing the constitutional authority to enact the proposed law.
Maybe the first bill of each congress should be the constitution. Those that vote NAY or present or are absent are referred to the ethics committee (violation of their oath) for trial and eviction.
This regular article goes out to thousands of small newspapers throughout the US every week. 'Newspapers?', you say. 'Who reads newspapers anymore?'
The same demographic that votes - Seniors.
In my local paper the headline reads: SENIORS Bipartisan proposals threaten Medicare
We've been at war for a long time. We better win the war for the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans if we want there to be an America.
FReepers need to fire up their email lists and get educating!
WOW amazing how this common sense thing that most Americans thought was actually happening, actually wasn’t.... Love it... The USA getting back to basics, cut all that wasteful government and not with a scalpel either Obama’s budget requires a chain saw...
If that's all the time it takes to read our Founding Document aloud, then it ought to be read at the beginning of every session of Congress.
I understand that the Senate hasn't adopted this rule, though they should.
We should make note of how many liberals are not there or walk out during the reading it will make great campaign commercials.
They will read the Constitution aloud.
Are we supposed to be impressed?
When do these AHs lower taxes, secure our borders, start jailing thousands of greedy employers that hire millions of illegal aliens, and dramatically reduce the size of this bloated, ever growing corrupt government?
When does that happen??
I can’t wait to see Rat bills picked apart over Constitutionality. They won’t know what hit them and they will have no idea how to defend the bills.
