3.0.0 1216 2023-03-22T18:49:15Z 2023-03-22T18:49:15Z House H HR 2013-03-15 113 [Pages H1548-H1549]From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov]By Mr. GOSAR:H.R. 1216.Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuantto the following:Article I, Sec. 8, Clause 17, which provides that Congresshas the power and authority to: ``exercise exclusiveLegislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (notexceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particularStates, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat ofthe Government of the United States, and to exercise likeAuthority over all Places purchased by the Consent of theLegislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for theErection[[Page H1549]]of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needfulBuildings.(Emphasis added). Thus, the Constitution's Places Clauseconfers the express and exclusive constitutional authority toCongress to manage Federal Property, including federallyowned property used for any ``needful'' government purpose.The federal government's duty to raise and maintain amilitary force subsumes a duty to maintain and take care ofits veterans from such military forces. Thus, a veterans'center is a ``needful building'' to fulfill a coreconstitutional duty, and thus Congress has the exclusiveauthority to manage it and give it a name. James v. DravoContracting Co., 302 U.S. 134, 143 (1937) (taking the``view'' that the phrase ``other needful buildings'' embraces``whatever structures are found to be necessary in theperformance of the functions of the federal government). Forthese reasons, the bill seeking to name a veteran's center isconstitutionally permissible.]]> ssva00 Veterans' Affairs Committee Senate Standing Discharged from 2014-07-09T22:39:11Z Referred to 2014-06-18T17:40:22Z hsvr00 Veterans' Affairs Committee House Standing hsvr03 Health Subcommittee Referred to 2013-04-02T19:48:43Z Referred to 2013-03-15T13:03:00Z 2014-07-25 Became Public Law No: 113-138.
