To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4450 Oak Park Lane in Fort Worth, Texas, as the "United States Representative Kay Granger Post Office Building".

The measure before us is a mere designation of name upon a facility already lawfully established by the national government. The power of Congress over the posts is explicit and unqualified: Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 empowers the legislature 'To establish Post Offices and post Roads.' A power to establish carries with it, by every sound rule of construction, the incidental authority to govern the character, management, and designation of those establishments.

Where the end is legitimate and within the scope of the Constitution, all appropriate means which are plainly adapted to that end, and which are not prohibited, may be lawfully employed; so this Court held in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). I have examined the measure against every prohibition of the Constit…
