            By Mr. GOHMERT:
        H.R. 3647.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is an exercise 
     of Congress's power to raise and support armies (Art. I, 
     Sec. 8, cl. 12); provide and maintain a Navy (Art. I, Sec. 8, 
     cl.13); and to make rules for organizing and disciplining 
     their members (Art. I, Sec. 8, cl. 14). Under this authority, 
     Congress enacted the UCMJ (Chapter 47 of Title 10, U.S. 
     Code), which is the code of military criminal laws applicable 
     to all U.S. military members worldwide.
