The Enumerated Powers Act

Quite simple really. Bill HR1359 (thanks to Downsize DC) would "require Congress to reference the specific clause(s) of the U.S. Constitution that grant them the power to enact laws and take other congressional actions." Introduced by Representative John Shadegg (R-AZ) in 2007, the bill already has 47 cosponsors but has been thoroughly buried in the House Judiciary and House Rules committees since March 2007. It's time to push our representatives to tell us what enumerated powers they are abusing before they pass another law.
