Sen. Roger Wicker Reintroduces Pro-Tenth Amendment Bill
As the federal government works tirelessly to reduce state governments to nothing more than administrative units of the central authority, there are a handful of lawmakers who understand the proper limited role of the federal government and are working to decentralize power and restore states to their proper preeminence.
Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), shown, has introduced the “Restoring the 10th Amendment Act.” The bill, which Wicker has offered in every congressional session since 2010, would enable states to dispute federal regulations and executive orders.
“Small businesses, families, and individuals around the country are right to be frustrated with the growing size of their government,” Wicker said. “My bill stresses the need for constitutional checks and balances on executive power and gives states and the American people a tool to challenge federal overreach.”
