1.10 Passage of Bills

This Section makes a lot of changes to help pass reasonable Laws.  Here is a list of changes:

      1.      Every Law passed must include and expiration date not to be more than 20 years.  This is commonly referred to as a Sunset Provision.  If the Law is to be continued past its expiration date, it will require a new Law be debated and passed to replace the expiring Law.  Hopefully this will remove obsolete laws from the books.

      2.      Every Law passed must include an estimated annual cost to the government and to The People.  The estimates must be for every year until the Law expires.

      3.      All amendments to a proposed Law must relate to the purpose or topic of the proposed Law.  No more sneaking spending through that has nothing to do with the proposed Law.

      4.      The President will have line item veto in proposed Laws, ie he can strike specific items in a proposed Law and send it back to Congress.  Again, this will help stop sneaking spending through that has nothing to do with the proposed Law.

      5.      Congress cannot pass a proposed Law that does not pertain equally to themselves and to The People.  No more Laws which members of Congress do not have to obey.  No more Laws giving Congress special privileges.
