By Mr. ISSA:
H.R. 1702.
Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant
to the following:
Article I, Section 8, clause 18 allows Congress to make all
laws ``which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into
execution'' any ``other'' powers vested by the Constitution
in the Government of the United States.
*Note: According to the Supreme Court, the
Necessary and Proper Clause gives Congress the ``power to
make laws for carrying into execution all the Judgments which
the judicial department has power to pronounce'' (Wayman v.
Southard, 10 Wheat 1, 22 (1825)), and, thereby, Congress has
``undoubted power to regulate the practice and procedure of
federal courts.'' See Sibbach v. Wilson & Co., 312 U.S. 1, 9
(1941).
