Congress Members Sue Executive Branch for Overreach
Someone is finally realizing that government needs boundaries.
Thirty-eight members of Congress have joined Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson’s lawsuit against the U.S. Office of Personnel Management for overreaching its executive duties. Granted, this is one branch of the federal government defending itself against another, but it’s a step in the right direction.
At issue is a new ruling “allowing members of Congress and their staff members to receive subsidies for their health care coverage if they chose plans through Obamacare exchanges.” That very provision was already debated in Congress and discarded. Now the Obama administration wants just to declare it so without going through Congress.
Sound familiar? Johnson says this ruling was just one step in a pattern of executive overreach by President Obama, and he took it as his best chance to do something about it. Twelve senators and 26 House representatives from the Republican party signed a brief in support of the Obamacare lawsuit.

Proposed Convention Rules
In July 2015, Professor Rob Natelson, one of the nation’s leading Article V experts, crafted an initial draft of rules for a Convention of the States along with Convention of States Project co-founder, Michael Farris. Since then, members of the Convention of States Caucus -- a group of 200+ state legislators from 40 states, all united in their support of an Article V Convention of States -- have been invited to review Natelson’s rules and provide input. The following is the latest iteration of those rules as of September 2015. When a Convention of States is called, these rules will be available for official debate and adoption.
Convention for Proposing Amendments -- Proposed Rules (1)
Rule 1. Questions not governed by these rules shall be governed by the latest published edition of Mason’s Manual of Legislative Procedure, except where the rule in that manual can be applied only to a state legislature rather than a convention; in which case the matter shall be determined by parliamentary common law.
