There is no power in the Constitution given to Congress to cure all the ills of the nation.

There is an ongoing plan to deal with the pandemic.

There are various health care plans, but no constitutional power given to Congress to initiate nor enforce a national health care plan.

The Constitution is a plan to deal with racism and justice.

Congress is responsible for planning any federal environmental regulation. From the Environmental and Energy Study Institute:

"In the United States, federal action on climate change has stagnated in Congress, and the Clean Air Act has become the central national vehicle for developing emissions reduction regulations.

"The EPA is likely to give states flexibility in pursuing compliance of its emission reduction regulations, which may spur innovative methods of compliance. For example, RGGI, a cap and trade program in ten northeast states, and California’s emerging trading program, may serve as these states’ implementation plans.

"Given the traditional and Constitutional allocations of governmental power in the United States, much greater attention should be given to how any national program can provide incentives to and preserve the autonomy of state and local governments.

"While Congress has stalled in passing comprehensive climate change legislation, many states and localities have taken their own steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."



Your notion that the President has such sweeping powers is very Progressive--but not constitutional.

So who’s building the wall and where did the funding come from?
