Bill > HR2677

This bill establishes the Constitutional Government Review Commission, a nine-member body appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, which will conduct a comprehensive review of federal agencies to determine whether their statutory authority is definitively delegated by the U.S. Constitution. The Commission will be composed of members who are learned in the original meaning of the Constitution, with candidates proposed by congressional leadership and a chair appointed by the President. The Commission's primary goal is to ensure that powers not explicitly granted to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people, as outlined in the 10th Amendment. Members will serve for approximately five and a half years, hold public meetings at least twice annually, and have the power to review agency statutes, recommend repeals, and propose how potential budget savings could be distributed among the states. The Commission will maintain a public website to document its activities, publish detailed reports and recommendations to Congress annually, and will have the authority to hold hearings, issue subpoenas, and access government information. The bill provides an expedited legislative process for considering the Commission's recommendations and authorizes up to $30 million in funding. After completing its work, the Commission will terminate approximately five and a half years after its establishment.
