“I’m a bill.” is what I remember. I was in my 20s when School House Rock was prominent. I loved it.
I remember “Conjunction-junction, what’s your function”
Schoolhouse Rock- How a Bill Becomes a Law
Exactly how was a law that school buses stop at railroads crossings a federal matter? It wasn't an enumerated power and where school buses stop isn't a matter of interstate commerce? Schoolhouse Rock is a tool for the defederalization of the government! :-)

I’m an amendment to be, yes an amendment to be,
and I’m hopin’ that they’ll ratify me.
There’s a lot of flag burners who have got too much freedom.
I wanna make it legal for policemen to beat ‘em,
cause there’s limits to our liberties.
‘Least I hope and pray that there are,
cause those liberal freaks go too far.
kid: Well why can’t we just make a law against flag burning?
Amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional.
But if we changed the Constitution...
kid: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!
Amendment: Now you’re catching on!
Bart: What the hell is this?
Lisa: It’s one of those campy 70’s throwbacks that appeals to Generation-X’ers.
Bart: We need another Vietnam to thin out their ranks a little.
Kid: What if people say you’re not good enough to be in the Constitution?
Amendment (singing):
Then I’ll crush all opposition to me,
and I’ll make Ted Kennedy pay.
If he fights back, I’ll say that he’s gay.
Congressman: Good news, Amendment! They ratified ya! You’re in the U.S. Constitution.
Amendment: Oh yeah! Door’s open, boys.
