Ban the use of Riders in Bills.

Created by D.C. on December 20, 2011

Amendments need to enhance and strengthen legislation. Because Riders are usually completely unrelated to the original Bill, including such conditions are not a compromise but the equivalent of extortion and ransom.

Most States are protected by a Line Item Veto, but the President does not have that power. The only way to stop politicians from holding the American People hostage is to eliminate Congressional power to insert a personal or party agenda into necessary legislation.

Example: Infrastructure is unrelated to education or environmental issues. That's why there are separate departments and agencies.

We The People Of The United States know the difference and request this change.
