           By Mr. DUFFY:
       H.R. 3682.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Consistent with the original understanding of the commerce 
     clause, the authority to enact this legislation is found in 
     Clause 3 of Section 8, Article I of the Constitution. The 
     bill repeals the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 
     which exceeds the authority vested in Congress by the 
     Constitution. Finally, the bill removes government intrusion 
     into the doctor-patient relationship, which is protected by 
     the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution.
