Is Congress Surreptiously Ceding Its Constitutional Authority to the Executive Branch??| The Post & Email: "A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT IS AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL SMOKESCREEN

July 6, 2011

Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that the president must obtain the 'advice and consent' of the Senate in making appointments

Representatives Broun, Gingrey, Graves, Price, Woodall,

Senators Chambliss, Isakson, by FAX:

S.J. RES. 10, a resolution to amend the Constitution to provide a balanced budget (BBA) is, perhaps, the greatest hoax ever perpetrated against We the People since the equally unconstitutional 17th Amendment. (1)

The superficial intent of the BBA is redundant to the enumerated powers of Congress; therefore the “selling” points are bogus. Sections 1. and 2. to provide a balanced budget under 18% GDP (unless Congress votes otherwise) is already provided for in Article 1. Sections 8. and 9. The House has constitutional authority and responsibility to raise revenue and expend that revenue from the treasury."
