| Description | Dems claim legislation prohibiting federal funding of abortion doesn't have the statement of constitutional authority required under GOP rules.
Democrats are accusing the young House Republican majority of violating one its most cherished new rules: the requirement that all legislation include a citation of its Constitutional authority.
In a letter sent Friday, Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) urged the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), to refrain from bringing up a bill prohibiting federal funding of abortion because it “was introduced without a valid statement of constitutional authority as required under the new House rules adopted in January.” |
