To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 201 East Grant Avenue in Georgetown, Ohio, as the "Ulysses S. Grant Post Office Building".

This bill is a straightforward exercise of Congress's power to establish post offices under Article I, Section 8, Clause 7. The designation of a specific postal facility's name is an incidental administrative detail that falls within the scope of that enumerated power. No constitutional provision prohibits such naming, and it does not infringe upon any other branch's authority or individual rights. As I argued in Federalist No. 23, the powers necessary to execute the enumerated ends must be liberally construed; naming a post office is a necessary and proper means of managing the postal system.

The Tenth Amendment reserves to the states or the people only those powers not delegated to the United States; here, the power over post offices is clearly delegated. No provision of the Bill of Rights is implicated, as the action does not abridge any individual liberty or right.

It does not create any new office, appropriate funds beyond normal operations, or infringe upon the powers reserved to the states or the people. The designation of a specific name for a post office is a de minimis exercise of legislative authority, consi…

This bill is a constitutional exercise of Congress's power to establish post offices, as granted by Article I, Section 8, Clause 7. The naming of a specific postal facility is a necessary and proper measure for the operation of the postal system, consistent with the implied powers recognized in McCulloch v. Madison (1819). There is no conflict with any constitutional provision, and the designation does not exceed the scope of federal authority.
