`Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House of Congress. The availability of this point of order does not affect any other available relief.'

Now that's what I'm talking about!!

Now, add another bill that makes them go back and run all previous laws thru the same ringer!!

The interesting thing about that one, is that it could be adopted into House and/or Senate rules. Under that circumstance, there is no excuse of well the Senate won't pass it, or the President won't sign it, or .....

As a rule, it can be adopted unilaterally by either body independant of the others, and serve the function intended. That would place the provision into action until such time as it could be reasonably enacted into a full law.
