I don't know about that. For one thing, not everything is contained within the constitution or the amendments. I suspect that were it written today, there would be an attempt to do so but that's neither here nor there. Also, congress is not the authority: the constitution is the authority, plus all the other laws. Congress is the power, shared with the president. But that's splitting hairs.

Why don't we call it the 2nd WRM?
