            By Mr. LUETKEMEYER:
        H.R. 3036.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The constitutional authority on which this bill rests lies 
     in Article 1, Section 7, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which 
     allows for every bill passed by the House of Representatives 
     and the Senate and signed by the President to be codified 
     into law; and therefore implicitly allows Congress to repeal 
     any bill that has been passed by both chambers and signed 
     into law by the President.
       Additionally, the Constitution grants to Congress the 
     explicit power to regulate commerce in and among the states, 
     as enumerated in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3, the Commerce 
     Clause.
