A BILL TO PROVIDE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES WITH REGARD TO FEDERAL REGIONALISM
Applicability: State
Contributed by: Committee to Restore the Constitution; Ft. Collins, CO
WHEREAS, by agreement with her sister States, the State of (???) is duty bound
to enforce the Constitution of the United States within her borders; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature of this State has inquired into the question of
whether any authority was granted to any of the agencies created under the
terms of the Constitution of the United States either to group several
sovereign states into one "region" or to coerce the division of any state into
sub-state "regions;" and
WHEREAS, no authority for any such purported act was granted under the terms
of the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS; such ultra vires acts by any Federal Agency abridges rights and
liberties of this State and her people without lawful authority; and
WHEREAS; by means of a purported act falsely claiming to have lawful
authority, a former President of the United States claimed under so-called
Executive Order No. 11647 to divide the Parties to the Constitution of the
United States into ten so-called regions, but such purported act was ultra
vires and void for the reasons that:
1. Being legislative in nature, said purported act was interdicted,
inter alia, by Article I of the Constitution of the United States which
vests "all legislative powers herein granted" in the Congress, and
2. No authority was granted by the States even by the Congress to
exercise any such "regional" control, over any one or any group of the
Parties to the Constitutional Compact, now therefore
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF (???), in conformity with the duty of the State of (???) to her People and to her sister States, and in
further conformity with the oath of office taken by the governmental officials
thereof, which said oath binds said officials to support the Constitution of
the United States :
1. Any purported act by any agency created by the States under the
Constitution of the United States claiming to group any state or group
of states into a so-called region is beyond the authority granted under
the Constitution of the United States and is therefore null, void, and
of no effect within the jurisdiction of this State, and any attempt to
enforce the provisions of any such Executive Order within this State is
unlawful.
2. Any person who shall commit an act in violation of the provisions of
this statute shall be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof,

3. Any State officeholder, or any Member of the Congress of the United
States from the State of (???), who shall attempt or in fact violate the
provisions of this Act shall, by that attempt or action, automatically
vacate his office, and any citizen of this State may bring quo warranto
proceedings in the county in which said offender last resided or was
last known to be, to force the abandonment of any pretext of filling
said office by the person so disqualified.
4. Any person aggrieved by a State officeholder or by any other person
acting in violation of the within statute shall retain his private
action against the offender and all of his aiders, advisors and
abettors, jointly and severally, and shall recover triple costs, besides

assess at less than $2,500.00.
5. Any Person convicted of any criminal offense under the provisions of
this statute shall be incapable of receiving pardon, and shall be
incapable of receiving parole or suspension of sentence of confinement.
6. Any person being a defendant in a civil action brought under the
provisions of this statute, who shall have had judgement rendered
against him which has become final by the expiration of time for appeal
or by final determination of an Appellate Court, shall be denied all
exemptions from execution under said judgement.
