That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification: If one-fourth of the total membership of the House of Representatives or one-fourth of the total membership of the Senate sign a petition disapproving of any proposed department or agency regulation, the Clerk of the House or the Secretary of the Senate shall transmit such petition to the President. The proposed regulation subject to the petition shall not have force or effect until and unless a joint resolution approving such proposed regulation and not containing any other matter is agreed to by each body of the Congress by a recorded vote and is enacted. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
