How much of Bernie Sanders' platform is constitutionally questionable?

How much of Bernie Sanders' platform is constitutionally questionable, or flat-out unconstitutional?

Such as his ideas on single-payer, free college, government reform, etc.

I think the constitutional question is currently being overlooked in the Bernie Sanders discussion. I won't pretend I'm an expert. But with how many times ObamaCare has been challenged, or even the old campaign finance laws before Citizens United, it's probably worth considering if any of it would be certain or have a good chance of being thrown out even if it does get passed.

Most of them could be done with simple laws, including single-payer and free college. There's a good deal that would require amendments he would never get, though.

I don't see any major constitutional problem with either single-payer or free college. If medicare is constitutional, then medicare for all is constitutional, and a law establishing such a system wouldn't necessarily need to make private insurance illegal per se, although the practical effect would be to make most private insurers obsolete except for some supplemental coverage.

Free college doesn't really pose any constitutional issue. As I understand Sanders's plan, the government would just pay the tuition for everyone attending public universities. Unreasonably expensive, probably? Unconstitutional, nah.

His only way to enact his policies, through the unilateral dissolution of Congress and rule be presidential decree, is likely unconstitutional.

According to the 10th admendment, most of it is illegal.

According to the 10th admendment, most of it is illegal.

According to that interpretation, almost every government program is unconstitutional. The point is, the stuff Bernie is proposing is no more "unconstitutional" than any number of other federal programs which the Supreme Court has allowed to keep existing.

The obviously unconstitutional one is campaign finance restrictions obviously.

Well his website says:

So his platform doesn't actually involve proposing any unconstitutional legislation on the issue.

Which he would only need 1936 political conditions to maybe do...

Not denying that.
