In his campaign book, A Time for Truth, Cruz writes, “For far too long, Congress has passed legislation with no one in the Senate once asking what should be the preliminary question: Do we have the constitutional authority to enact this bill?” A Cruz administration would press that question when necessary, and if it found such authority lacking, the legislation might receive a presidential veto.

EVERY bill should include, in it's forword/preface/summary/whatever, a quick section explaining how that bill is constitutional, with relevant citations. For how legally convoluted they make some of these bills, I think a little bit of legal research wouldn't be too difficult!
