This amendment attempt is truly comical considering it was written after our esteemed Speaker's bill at letting Congress do Weatherboy's responsibilities had to be tabled once he learned that there are legitimate constitutional concerns with it.

TBF I had multiple prewritten bills in the queue consolidating redundant bureaucracies until I learned how stupid the Atlasian Constitution is. IRL after 9/11 congress created DHS not Bush alone. Creating a bureaucracy is a legislative power, running it is an executive power. Congress constantly has to reauthorize bureaucracies IRL or their ability to operate expires. If Congress here decided to deauthorize all programs administered by an agency, it makes no sense that they are forbidden from eliminating that agency, thus leaving it staffed by persons not allowed to do anything in perpetuity. How is that good governance? My farm bill last year eliminated all usda marketing programs, which is the sole purpose of the Agricultural Marketing Service's existence. At present time the Agricultural Marketing Service still exists in Atlasia even though it has literally no powers or purpose. Thats dumb.

The idea is that the executive branch is suppose to eliminate those agencies and direct the consolidation of such.

The amendment also violated House rules because it lacks a section specifically to explain what the Amendment would change in the constitution and why it is being changed.


By the way activity standards Amendment had the same problem and thus its House Passage is of questionable legitimacy.
