The Republican Passed Keystone Pipeline Bill Violates The Constitution

"In case members of the Koch Congress are unaware of their duties as participants in the Legislative Branch of government, the Constitution is very succinct and clear: “Congress has authority over financial and budgetary matters, through the enumerated power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States.”


What the legislative branch absolutely does not have any authority over, regardless the issue, are any matters regarding the Executive Branch and its agency the Department of State. In the case of passing legislation approving a Canadian corporation’s construction permit crossing America’s sovereign international border, they are attempting to seize authority the Constitution says is the purview of the State Department; no matter what Charles and David Koch say or believe. It is likely why in the Koch’s vision of America, the Department of State would be abolished and replaced by a privately-held corporation; most likely Koch Industries."

Is this accurate?

If it is true, President Obama could veto this bill on the grounds of its unconstitutionality.

What a slap down it would be to show the 'Constitutional Scholars' that they don't know how to interpret The Constitution of the United States.

While he was at it, he could mention the Logan Act and how Congress are the ones trying to act like The King or Prince of the nation by undermining the Executive Branch of the government when making deals with foreign powers.
