Constitutional authority

Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant to the following: Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: ``To regulate Commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes.'' Because the federal government has extended Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 beyond its intended boundaries, it follows that efforts to rein in excessive federal government encroachment in this area can be justified by Article I, Section 8, Clause 3.
