I direct your attention to H. Res 5 - Rules for the 112th Congress.

Conviently beginning on the first page, I direct everyone's attention to the following:

"SECTION 2. CHANGES TO THE STANDING RULES.

(a) CITING AUTHORITY UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.--

1) In clause 7 of rule XII, add the following new paragraph:

     ``(c)(1) A bill or joint resolution may not be introduced unless the sponsor submits for printing in the Congressional Record a statement citing as specifically as practicable the power or powers granted to Congress in the Constitution to enact the bill or joint resolution. The statement shall appear in a portion of the Record designated for that purpose and be made publicly available in electronic form by the Clerk.

 ``(2) Before consideration of a Senate bill or joint resolution, the chair of a committee of jurisdiction may submit the statement required under subparagraph (1) as though the chair were the sponsor of the Senate bill or joint resolution.''.

.

"It's time to nut up or shut up!"

.

This is where the GOP can show if it's actually ready to lead.

Now that the democrats have already given up trying to understand what our Constitution means because it is "too confusing" for them, the GOP can use this advantage to literally pound them senseless and begin to start fixing the mess in Washington.
