Richard Burr

It is unconstitutional to suspend the U.S. Constitution by declaring national public health emergencies.

Spends at least $512 billion on multiple unconstitutional and left-wing programs and initiatives.

Congress should ensure that executive branch officials do not abridge parents' freedom of speech or their right to peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances, which is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Unconstitutionally spends $48 billion in grants to small businesses harmed by government Covid restrictions.

Roe v. Wade was deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 24, 2022, giving states the power to determine how they handle abortions. There is no constitutional provision granting a right to abortion. Many of our healthcare providers are subsidized by taxpayers, and government should not subsidize the killing of innocent human life.

Jackson is supportive of unconstitutional actions and clearly supports the woke agenda.

The CDC rule requiring persons to wear masks while on planes, trains, and buses is unconstitutional based on the 10th Amendment.

Spends $1.5 trillion on multiple unconstitutional programs and agencies.

Would "prohibit funding for COVID-19 vaccine mandates."

Not only does this bill undermine election integrity, but it infringes upon federalism and state sovereignty as established under the Constitution and its 10th Amendment.

The Constitution does not grant the power to any branch of the federal government to force citizens to submit to vaccinations.

Among other radical changes, gives the U.S. Department of Justice the power to unilaterally approve or reject any state election-law changes.

Implements a sweeping federalization of American elections. Mandates nationwide Internet, automatic, and same-day voter registration, and mail-in voting.

Sets budgetary levels to guide Congress in crafting, and is a necessary first step for the then-$3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act.

Nowhere in the Constitution is Congress authorized to allocate federal funding for education or to promote any particular curriculum in schools. Furthermore, critical Race Theory (CRT) is a radical and divisive theory that forces students to see and acknowledge others primarily by their skin color and racial ancestry, rather than by individual merits. CRT is part of the broader Marxist-inspired "Black Lives Matter" agenda and has its roots in Marxist "Critical Theory" originating from the Frankfurt School and Fabian Socialists. The federal government has no business promoting this extremist, anti-American agenda in our children's schools.

There is no constitutional provision granting a right to abortion, Roe v. Wade notwithstanding; and pro-life taxpayers should not be forced to fund a lethal practice that violates their deeply held religious convictions.

The federal government should not interfere with energy exploration. Regulation of various industries, such as energy, is not one of the federal government's enumerated powers under the Constitution. Allowing the United States to fully utilize its energy resources would make the country more self-sufficient and potentially create millions of jobs.

Would implement a sweeping federalization of American elections with provisions that would severely damage election integrity, including nationwide Internet, automatic, and same-day voter registration, mail-in voting, and early voting.

Unconstitutionally authorizes $250 billion over five years for federal funding of research and development programs.

Would have banned taxpayer funds in S. 1260 from going to research that destroys or creates human embryos.

Would have limited the federal government's unconstitutional authority to reserve water rights when designating a national monument.

Spends $1.9 trillion on unconstitutional programs in the name of coronavirus relief.

Would allow for legislation enforcing the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy that requires illegal migrants attempting to gain asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico.

Paul's point is constitutionally unassailable. The Constitution states, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Yet as of January 20, when Joe Biden was sworn in as president, Trump was a private citizen to whom the impeachment power does not apply.
