  • In the first episode of The Constitution Line By Line, U.S. Senator Mike Lee discusses Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution, wherein the Framers granted Congress all legislative powers and explains why the Founders designed the lawmaking powers to be nondelegable. The Senator also reflects on the modern growth of regulation and offers his views on how to properly address it.
    The Article I Initiative remains dedicated to discussion and debate to better appreciate the role of Congress and its rightful place in the Constitutional order. To learn more about the Article I Initiative, visit fedsoc.org/articlei.

    This is outstanding and I will spread this to my friends and family. In my high school government classes back in the 70s, we studied more government than they cover today in high school, but Mike Lee's "The Constitution Line by Line" is outstanding if the rest of the series is like this. Thank you for producing this educational series.

    Hello, I'm Gezer from Brazil.
    I wish we had the same kind of Constitution here in Brazil, thank you, Senator Lee. I've been following you and other Republican senators like Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton for a couple of weeks now, I appreciate your commitment to the truth. I can say this series on the Constitution is an answer to my prayers since I've been looking for something like that for a while, God bless you and God bless the United States of America. God bless Brazil.

    Excellent introduction.
    If a majority of Congress would simply adhere to the oath of office they took, they would all endeavor to undo these bureaucratic systems that do great harm to the American people while bypassing the Constitutional limitations on government.
    The sometimes 100,000 page annual monstrosity known as the Federal Register documents changes that will effect the Code of Federal Regulations. It has long been a problem in our nation that unelected bureaucrats have been able to create and change policies that can deprive the American people of their constitutional rights, including even the right to a jury trial and the right to an appeal (via administrative courts outside the judicial branch, etc.).
    The Supreme Court decisions from 1935, 1989 and 2001 described within seem incongruent with the fact that
    court allowed FDR to create an administrative state with regulatory power that has since grown into the monstrosity we face today...

    In WI districts are gerrymandered by the Republican Party to make sure that they maintain legislative power over Democrats and all others in both the State Assembly and State Senate. That provides only the Governor who can balance by vetoing but he cannot make laws. Also in WI gerrymandering has made sure that the federal House of Representatives is dominated in number by at least 6-3 Republicans over Democrats so they can have legislative dominance. It is possible to balance this dominance by election of 2 U.S. Senators from the same Party. Gerrymandering in WI causes some problem in this in that the Republicans have so much dominance that people that differ from their views are kept from voting in that they know they have no chance of being heard so stay home from voting.

      Only as a pure democracy? That has proved to turn into Demagoguery, where those with most charisma would shout the people into voting for destructive policy. It also turns into mob rule or diversion of power to a parental state or tyrant, as seen in Greece and every other civilization that has engaged in direct democracy.

    Please think about who you are speaking to. You start out very simply like you are speaking to everyone. Then words like promulgated start to pop up and you lose some listeners that way.

      Legalese. Sometimes it is unavoidable. However, I'd love to have it translated into ordinary English as much as it is possible. Those of us who are not familiar with common law start getting lost when cases are mentioned and all.

      I think your concern can only be taken as personal condescension for your fellow man. I understand that may not be your intention. However, I personally believe treating others as if they are at your level, outside of fringe cases, will only encourage them to rise and retain. That is if they are truly interested in what you are discussing. If they aren't, then simplifying your language will hardly have any effect.
