The House Embraces the Constitution
25th December 2010
The new rules of the newly Republican House of Representatives provide for the entire Constitution to be read aloud in the House on January 6. Also, “members will not be able to introduce a bill or joint resolution without a ‘statement citing as specifically as practicable the power or powers granted to Congress in the Constitution to enact’ it.”
Like the so-called ‘limit on the national debt’, this will serve as just another tedious exercise in sophistry rather than as any limit on the spending of money.
