The five checks
Enumerated powers · passes
Congress has authority under Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 (Postal Power) to establish and regulate post offices. Naming a postal facility is a routine exercise of that enumerated power.
Bill of Rights · passes
The bill does not affect speech, religion, assembly, press, petition, arms, quartering, search and seizure, self-incrimination, due process, takings, trial rights, jury rights, cruel and unusual punishment, unenumerated rights, or reserved powers. No amendment is implicated.
Individual liberty · passes
The bill imposes no restriction on any person's person, property, speech, labor, or belief. It does not command or forbid any individual conduct.
Decentralization · passes
Naming a federal building is a purely administrative act that does not shift decision-making away from individuals, communities, or states. It is a trivial federal housekeeping matter.
Due process and takings · passes
The bill does not deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property; it does not bypass any hearing or notice; it does not take any property. No due process or takings issue arises.
