Sen. Paul Introduces Constitutional Amendment

Oct 21, 2013

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen. Rand Paul last week introduced S.J. Res. 25, a Constitutional amendment that would hold government officials to the same standard as the American people. The amendment states that "Congress shall make no law applicable to a citizen of the United States that is not equally applicable to Congress." The amendment also contains two provisions that apply that same principle to the Executive Branch and Judicial Branch of the federal government.  The amendment text can be found below:

Two words: Incredibly genius...

Genius for a multitude of reasons. Mainly because of the debate that may ensue, and the media attention on FOX News and other outlets for conservative audiences. Hope this thing takes off and makes waves...

It's only been 5 or 6 years that the Tea Party has been begging for this amendment.  Ever since Obamacare was first being pushed through Congress  - Tea Party Members noticed that Congress originally had exempted themselves via an amendment to the Obamacare bill that was later removed and placed back after the Bill passed by Executive Order.
