Summary of Bill S 60

Bill 119 s 60 aims to address the issue of unconstitutional delegation of legislative power in the United States. The bill highlights that according to Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution, legislative power is exclusively vested in the Senate and House of Representatives. However, over time, there has been a trend of delegating legislative power to other entities, which goes against the principle of separation of powers outlined in the Constitution.

The bill directs the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a report for Congress, detailing the extent of the problem of unconstitutional delegation. The goal of this report is to bring awareness to the issue and to phase out such delegations in order to restore the constitutional principle of separation of powers.

By addressing this issue, Bill 119 s 60 seeks to uphold the integrity of the Constitution and ensure that legislative power remains in the hands of the Senate and House of Representatives as intended by the framers of the Constitution.

I think this bill is good because it stops the government from giving too much power to one branch. It's important to follow the Constitution and keep the powers separate. This bill affects everyone in the country.
