September 12, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H5923 

grants Congress the power of Congress to 

provide for the general welfare of the United 

States; to regulate interstate commerce; to 

make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces; and to 

make all laws necessary and proper for carrying out the powers vested in Congress. 

By Mr. AL GREEN of Texas: 

H.R. 6381. 

Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant to the following: 

The Constitutional authority to enact this 

legislation can be found in: 

General Welfare Clause (Art. 1 sec. 8 cl. 1) 

Commerce Clause (Art. 1 sec. 8 c1. 3) 

Necessary and Proper Clause (Art. 1 sec. 8 

cl. 18) 

Constitutional analysis is a rigorous discipline which goes far beyond the text of the 

Constitution, and requires knowledge of case 

law, history, and the tools of constitutional 

interpretation. While the scope of Congress’ 

powers is an appropriate matter for House 

debate, the listing of specific textual authorities for routine Congressional legislation about which there is no legitimate constitutional concern is a diminishment of the 

majesty of our Founding Fathers’ vision for 

our national legislature.
