Petition summary and background:
Whereas, the majority of the Members of both
houses of the Congress of the United States having neglected, whether willfully
or unknowingly, Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution, which
states, “All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in
the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with
Amendments as on other Bills”, though the Senate succeeded in authoring just
such legislation (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act); and Article
I, Section 8, in which the Congress is granted the power “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with
the Indian Tribes”, though it in no way authorizes Congress to participate in
Commerce;
Action petitioned for:
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who
urge our leaders to act now to immediately refrain from obfuscating their
responsibilities as prescribed in the Constitution of the United States, and to
re-swear or affirm their oath office, which states, “I, [Name], do solemnly
swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully
discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me
God.” By this action, let all members of
Congress act now to repeal said ACT; and in the future, only according to those
powers granted them through the Constitution; and, if they deem themselves
unable to do so, that they would voluntarily resign their post in favor of
those who would so act.
