	1994-035 \| 3/8/1994 \| Kansas Attorney General Opinion
		Because this is a power reserved for the individual houses of congress, the tenth amendment of the United States constitution does not reserve to the states the authority to remove members of congress from office.
		It is advocated that the tenth amendment to the United States constitution may provide for the citizens of states to petition for recall of federally elected officials.
		Therefore, the United States constitution reserves to the houses of congress the authority to judge the qualifications of their respective members and to punish or expel their members.

		Legislative qualifications were age (twenty-one years for representatives and thirty for senators), citizenship (United States or Republic of Texasqv) and residence (for representatives two years in the state and one year in the district prior to election, and for senators, three years in the state and one year in the district before election).
		The statehood constitution vested in the legislature "legislative" or lawmaking powers and a few nonlegislative powers such as impeaching and removing executive and judicial officers, electing the governor in the event of a tie and deciding certain contested elections, approving gubernatorial appointments, and proposing constitutional amendments (the constituent power).
		The 1845 charter was the only one of the five Texas state constitutions to assign to the legislature the appointment of the treasurer, comptroller of public accounts, and district attorneys, but this was changed by an amendment ratified in 1850.

	THE TENTH AMENDMENT'S BEST DEFENSE... IS THE MESS WE CALL GOVERNMENT
		The people of the United States took their freedom for granted, as if the Constitution and Bill of Rights had some innate powers of their own to be self-sustaining and self-perpetuating.

		And the juggernaut of massive welfare state government and meddling oligarchy rolls on, to the detriment of all and the demise of the original reason for having a United States of America.

		Section 922(o) of Title 18 of the United States Code is manifestly unconstitutional on its face, because it was beyond the enumerated powers of Congress to enact, and should be declared void by this Court.

		The Party supports state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment which reserves to the states or the people all powers not specifically delegated in the Constitution to the federal government and opposes the institution of mandates that are beyond the scope of the federal authority.

		We urge that the IRS be abolished and the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution be repealed.

	Basic Due Process for Pa. Students
		The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Since education is not mentioned in the Constitution, it is one of those powers reserved to the states.
		Of course, the United States Supreme Court can declare that something not mentioned in the Constitution is so closely related to something that is mentioned in the Constitution that the unmentioned power is a fundamental interest, which rises to constitutional protection.
		The due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states"....nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...." The Pennsylvania Constitution gives plenary power over education to the General Assembly, which is the legislative branch of government.

	Lynn Stuter -- Destroying A Nation
		While the Tenth Amendment to the United States constitution gives the federal government no say in education; and while the Blaine Amendment, tacked on to many enabling acts establishing states, violates the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; the violation of both these amendments without successful opposition paved the way for the ruling in 1963.
		In short, the Tenth Amendment prohibits federal involvement in those matters left to the discretion of the states, as education is, and the First Amendment prohibits the federal government from becoming involved in those matters concerning religion.

	Tenth and Eleventh Amendment Limitations on Federal Power
		The Burger and Rehnquist Courts have looked to the Tenth and Eleventh Amendments for building "the new federalism." Both amendments have been seen as limitations on the powers of Congress--although the Eleventh Amendment, by its own words, would appear to be only a limitation on judicial power.
		Nonetheless, the Court in a controversial 1890 decision, Hans v Louisiana, concluded that the Eleventh Amendment was in fact a bar to to federal suits against a state by that state's own citizens.
		Thus, state officials--but not states--might be sued when the violate the Constitution, even when they do so in the name of the state.

	Limits on Federal Power Amendment To The United States Constitution
		The Constitution is the greatest document in human history, bar none, and it is distressing to see how it is being abused, twisted, and ignored especially by the national leaders of low character we have today.
		Changes to the Constitution should not be made lightly and much thought and work went into this effort to put the national government back to where the founding fathers said it should be.
		So here are the amendments starting as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution which is the primary Amendment to eliminate many of the prior Amendments that have taken away personal and State Rights and puts limits on Federal power.

		The freedom to create a Living Trust is protected by the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which leaves certain personal rights to the states, among them the right to form a corporation, do business under an assumed name and create a trust.
		The outlawing of trusts in America would not only require a formal amendment to the United States Constitution, but also raise havoc with every corporation doing business in the country including General Motors, General Electric, General Mills and Grandma Ginny's General Store.
		In such a case the trust makers simply send the corporate trustee a registered letter stating that its services are no longer needed.
