A.1. General Legislation

Congress may enact necessary and proper laws to fulfill the general federal legislative duties required by the People and this Charter, provided such laws do not infringe the Rights of the People or exceed the limits of Constitutional delegation. Similarly, no law may infringe on the Rights and duties of the States as outlined under Article V.

Any bill or law that results from a bill must meet the following requirements:

• It must be written in plain language, generally understandable by a Person with a tenth-grade education.

• Any technical terms must be defined in a definitions section either near the top of the bill or law, or in an easy-to-find and identified glossary in the text of the bill.

• The first Section of the bill or law must include a written explanation detailing why the bill was introduced and how it serves the larger purpose of the government in securing the Rights of the People.

Laws enacted before ratification of this Charter are exempt from these requirements.

Failure of Congress to meet the requirements outlined here renders the bill unable to be presented to the President for signature, remand, or veto. Any such failure must be remedied before a bill can advance to law. In any case where a federal appellate Court finds that these requirements were not met, the Court in question is obligated to remand the law to Congress for remedy and resubmission to the Court within thirty (30) days. Failure on the part of Congress to submit a remedied bill to the Court’s satisfaction requires the Court to strike down the law as unconstitutional, without regard for severability or other considerations.
