Texas Representative Chip Roy endorsed the Convention of States Project because he believes the federal government is broken. This week, he called out President Joe Biden for his dereliction of duty to secure the southern border.
"We’re getting the shaft. While this president refuses to do his job, unconstitutionally by the way, an impeachable offense to not faithfully execute the laws of the United States. We should be helping the ranchers, helping the counties that are burying dead migrants to the tune of ten thousand dollars a body, helping the schools, helping the hospitals. Why? Because we’re not doing our job to secure the border, Texas is getting stuck because this president refuses to actually secure the border, endangering Texans’ lives and endangering migrants in the process. They know what they’re doing."
Rep. Roy is right. While the president imposes his will in areas he has no business regulating, he fails to do one of the only things he's obligated to do under the Constitution.
The federal government is upside down. To return to our original structure, we need to get Washington out of most domestic issues and force it to handle only those things expressly mentioned in our founding document.
Some members of Congress would support limiting federal power, but not nearly enough. The people and the states need to step in and take charge, and we can do it with a Convention of States.
A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and force the president to stay within his constitutional bounds.
That way, the White House can stop controlling the healthcare and education decisions of the American people and focus exclusively on topics they're actually meant to handle, like immigration.
