to set public policy.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 5, 2000
Mr. Stearns (for himself, Mr. Doolittle, Mr. Hostettler, Mr. Barr of
Georgia, Mr. Coburn, Mr. DeMint, Mr. Paul, and Mrs. Chenoweth-Hage)
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the disapproval of the House of Representatives regarding
Presidential circumvention of the legislative authority of the Congress
to set public policy.
Whereas article I, section 1 of the Constitution specifies that ``All
legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the
United States'';
Whereas a ``republic'' is defined as ``a government in which supreme power
resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by
elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing
according to law'';
Whereas individual Americans consistently express their opinions to Members of
Congress;
Whereas Members of Congress are duly elected and serve to uphold the
Constitution and represent the views of their constituents; and
Whereas the administration has encouraged litigation against law-abiding private
companies in order to force the adoption of certain policy initiatives:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that
the President and appointed members and staff of the executive branch
should not use litigation in a coercive manner in order to circumvent
the legislative function of the Congress.
