Happy Constitution Day! - "In honor of this day, I’d like to share a memorization trick that I learned for remembering Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution -- the enumerated powers of Congress."

To: Tailgunner Joe; All
Thanks for finding those sound bytes Tailgunner Joe. People also need to memorize "PNGAP," powers not granted are prohibited.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
