| Message | Madame Speaker, We have problems with the compositions of Section 4. We think the power lays with the Congress to oversee the constitutional abuse of the government and not the President itself. We propose the following; Section 4. The Commission on Ethics and Constitutional Oversight is to be the prime, independent authority to investigate abuses of the constitution, of authority delegated by the constitution and to ensure the integrity of the Government. It will consist of 13 members; 6 appointed by the President and 7 appointed by Congress. They will serve 15 year non-renewable terms. |
