There ought to be a law

[Father Time]

I'd be in favor of a law that required a certain amount of time during every session of Congress to be spent in cleaning extraneous laws off the books.

We can make a contest out of it.

Go through the books and find as many unneeded laws as you can, find the most and you get to go home early.

If I could have one law it would be a law which requires any law to cite it's consititutionality in its text.

H.R. 1359: Enumerated Powers Act (GovTrack.us)

Have you contacted your senators and reps?

Better yet, save the taxpayers the most money by repealing unneeded laws, and you get a prize. Certainly another term in office.

It's been shot down already. Our congress, the men and women who have sworn to uphold the constitution, refuse to vote this one in......sort of makes you think.

Why would they vote for something that might limit their power?

Isn't there a law now that requires them to actually read what they vote on? If not there should be.
