The Constitution of the United States of America states the limits of congress specifically. The current congress, which enjoys a 21% approval rating, is completely out of line with the laws in trying to force us to take all the garbage bills that the liberals want to pass. Article 1 Section 8 states these limits.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Ere-tion (site won't allow the spelling of the word... C is missing) of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
IT IS TIME for the American people to have a Constitutional convention and put these politicians in their place and restore our nation to Constitutional law. These next two elections are our opportunity to do just this. We MUST elect candidates who are strict Constitutionalists and rule of law men and women. Then, we MUST audit all departments of the government and kick out all the folks who are holding down jobs created by those elected for their relatives and friends. We MUST audit Fanny, Freddy, the VA, IRS, MEDICARE and MEDICADE, Social Security and SSI and the list goes on and on. The fraud, corruption and graft are astronomical! It is time to clean house and get our government back to being a lean, mean fighting machine. We MUST restore the military budget to reflect the security needs of our nation while eliminating the corruption there as well.
