The Reign of King Jeff – Day 1

Part 2

Later that day, in the interest of environmental-awareness, I will allow Congress to pass more than one item at a time, which will, presumably, save paper, but I will require them to adopt two of the plans put forth by DownsizeDC. The first requires members of Congress to actually work for their pay by writing the bills themselves, instead of farming it out to lobbyists and other tax-money interested parties. The other requires them to actually read the bills in their entirety before voting on them. Both of these measures will also save quite a few trees, it being my considered opinion that not even Joe Biden would want to hear himself talk long enough to read a 1300-page bill. Most importantly, however, I will require every bill proposed by Congress to cite the specific portion of the Constitution that gives them the authority to engage the issue in the first place, in keeping with the 10^th Amendment, which, by the way, is not trumped by the 14^th.

Not wanting to have to deal with the last-mentioned problem anymore, in addition to not liking the whole point of federalism being turned on its head, I will immediately repeal the 14^th Amendment. Then, having a desire to provide the several states with representation in Washington, D.C., such as, say, Botswana has, I will repeal the 17^th Amendment. The 16^th Amendment is next. Seeing that the Unites States Supreme Court has ruled on four separate occasions that it created no new power to tax anyway, why have it cluttering up the document at all? Besides, it was never properly ratified in the first place.

Before heading for the White House screening room, which I understand has an incredible surround-sound system employing Triad speakers, to watch ‘Casino Royale’ again, I will make a television appearance in which I will explain two things about the Constitution.

Tomorrow, I'll give you a sneak preview
