I LIKE TRUMP’S PLAN TO REPEAL TWO REGULATIONS FOR EACH NEW ONE (IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS), but here’s something stronger:

The director of a coalition seeking to restore a “balance of state and federal power” is in Midland this week garnering support for a constitutional amendment he believes provides the fastest and most reliable way to rein in power of regulators in Washington.

The “Regulation Freedom Amendment” specifically says:

“Whenever one quarter of the members of the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate transmit to the president their written declaration of opposition to a proposed federal regulation, it shall require a majority vote of the House and Senate to adopt that regulation.”

Roman Buhler, director of The Madison Coalition, said the proposed constitutional amendment is backed by a bipartisan coalition, including more than 900 state legislators, six governors, the American Farm Bureau and a unanimous vote of the Republican National Committee. He said 19 state legislative chambers have passed resolutions urging Congress to propose the amendment.

This would do a lot for separation of powers. Of course, Congress, by statute, could simply require all proposed regulations to pass the House and Senate before taking effect.
