Congressional Action Needed

[James E. White]

Dear Congressperson,

It has come to my attention that CONGRESS can and MUST take over the Presidential and Judicial POWERS. The following parts of the Constitution make that POWER clear. You may need to work to convince some Republicans but the gain will be worth it. Also, please pass this on to the Judiciary Committees in both houses and everyone else you think should have it. Thanks.

As you can see from the quotes, Presidential power and duties are limited by Article II, Secs. 2 and 3. Congress' POWERS are expansive to all POWERS vested in the Government of the United States. I should also remind you of Article I, Sec. 8, Cl. 15 to assist you.

Article I, Sec. 8, Cl. 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Article II, Sec. 1: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

Article II, Sec. 2:
1. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

2. He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

3. The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Article II, Sec. 3
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
