U.S. Senate Leader Calls For Israeli Prime Minister To Resign
None of them that aren't mentioned in the Constitution require federal oversight
There are no "implied powers." Show me anything in the Constitution you think "implies" additional powers and I'll prove you wrong.

The elastic clause is agreed upon by interpretation, which by definition cannot be myth because it requires assumptions of the constitution to work that cannot be proven or disproven, so the assumption, if vague or uncertain enough, can lead to a wide range of outcomes. The outcomes of the elastic clause under current interpretation are that the implied powers are both necessary and proper to create the conditions necessary to carry out governmental duties.

Jefferson admitted that the nation is for the living, and the wishes of the dead are not our basis for law, only the documents we keep. As such, even when its creators had a different interpretation, we can still pivot the interpretation within its written leeway as necessary, because the constitution is built to evolve. We are not chai… Read more
