A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO MEMORIALIZE THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO REQUEST THAT THEY CO-SPONSOR AND SUPPORT H.R. 4371.
Whereas, the federal government has increased its power far beyond the confines set by the U.S. Constitution; and
Whereas, President Obama and other executive branch officers of the federal government in particular have unilaterally expanded their power at the expense of the other branches of the government; and
Whereas, these expanded executive branch powers are threatening basic freedoms that belong to all citizens; and
Whereas, it is the proper duty of the Congress to control the power of the purse in order to bring the executive branch in line with its proper role; and
Whereas, Representative Ken Buck of Colorado has introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives H.R. 4371 - Article I Consolidated Appropriations Amendments, 2016, containing provisions that will rein in executive branch actions in a number of areas; and
Whereas, the State of South Carolina will benefit greatly if the provisions in Representative Buck's bill are enacted into law. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly memorialize the congressional delegation of the State of South Carolina and request that they co-sponsor and support H.R. 4371.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this concurrent resolution be sent to each member of congressional delegation of the State of South Carolina.
