      It’s another good idea without a constitutional basis. I swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and I take that oath seriously. Constitutional limits are meaningless if we ignore them whenever we like the policy outcome.https://twitter.com/pkcapitol/status/1021534179190812672 …

      The correct question under our Constitution is: What is the authority for the legislation? We live under a Constitution that grants Congress limited, enumerated powers.

          I appreciate you responding and your POV here is necessary. But, is the Constitution a living document or not? I get that it grants limited powers to the state, the Army & Navy, e.g., but not an Air Force. Is the Air Force constitutional?

          Replying to @jimhigdon

          Article V provides for the amendment process. Many people today believe the Constitution is “living” and seek to “amend” the Constitution outside of this process. I clearly do not subscribe to that. The Air Force was founded as part of the Army.

          opposition at all costs helps no one but your blue banner. creating a new wing, or a mostly autonomous one like the marines, of the military would allow space exploration sciences to dip into massive military funds. it's logical to move military power to space for the future.

          Correct me if I am wrong but we have Nationwide suicide hotlines all over why does the government get to appropriate more money for something is already being covered. My hat off to @justinamash for standing strong.

          What does Constitution say about executive power? Co-equal branches of government? Emoluments? Attacks on free press? Please reflect on your oath, Justin. Founding fathers didn't foresee legislative branch failing like this. They saw Trump coming but they thought YOU would ACT.pic.twitter.com/IBZRLQWooQ

          Madison himself the words general welfare essentially meant nothing. It certainly doesn’t mean welfare state, universal health care, or any other entitlement.

          Your primary authority is of the purse. You absolutely have a constitutional basis for funding things. Your job is to decide what's a sensible use of our resources. It sounds like basically all your colleagues, and probably most of your constituents, think this would have been.

          On that note one of the enumerated powers is for the House to initiate the articles of impeachment when the president breaks laws, are you going to utilize that power at least?
