Please point me to the section of the Constitution that places responsibility for television volume with the House of representatives, or any other legislative body...

Easy. The Interstate Commerce Clause. Television Ads are Interstate Commerce and as such can be regulated. So this would be one instance were Congress would be justified in using the Clause.

Unlike them sticking it in every 'hate crime bill' or other non Interstate Commerce 'pet project' Bill they can think of.
