• Constitutional authority statementThe sponsor’s statement of where the Constitution gives Congress the power to pass this bill. Statement by Mr. PRICE of Georgia, as printed in the Congressional Record (Page H3252):
  Consistent with the original understanding of the commerce clause, the authority to enact this legislation is found in Clause 3 of Section 8, Article 1 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 removed government intrusion into the doctor-patient relationship, which is protected by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution.

  PORKER shows the statement exactly as printed, with the page markup removed. It is the sponsor’s claim; it is not a legal finding.
