Congress Is Powerless, It Gave All Its Power Away



We need a Constitutional Amendment to force Congress to approve every regulation on an up or down, limited debate, no amendments, recorded vote.  Since Congress avoids responsibility and the Executive Branch loves enacting laws without Congress, this Constitutional Amendment will have to come from a Constitutional Convention called by 2/3 of the states' legislatures.  The Constitution never envisioned regulatory agencies with executive, legislative and judicial functions.  The result is tyranny.  The argument that regulations need expertise does not mean that Congress can't be trusted to approve regulations proposed by the regulatory "experts."  It's their job in Congress to enact laws.  There are no exceptions.  The fact is the Democrats have been able to deadlock Congress on purpose and avoid having to negotiate deals with Congressional Republicans. That's why we now have a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.  Congress has no power because it gave it all away.
