Amendment - Section 1

SECTION 1

No Bill shall become Law that consists of more than 5,000 words.

For years there has been a desire to provide the President with a "line item veto;" however, that is not needed if each bill is limited in its size to accommodate one or a few concepts. Bills that are limited will assist congressmen in becoming statesmen again where their concern are for both their constituents as well as the country as a whole.

The preamble and all seven Articles of The Constitution of the United States has less than 3,700 words. It is inexcusable that any law is longer and more complicated than our country's founding document. The Declaration of Independence has under 1,400 words.
