The five checks
Enumerated powers · passes
The resolution is a non-binding expression of support. It does not exercise any enumerated power under Article I, Section 8, but it also does not exceed them because it imposes no legal obligation. Congress has inherent authority to pass resolutions expressing its views, which is a customary and accepted legislative function.
Bill of Rights · passes
The resolution does not restrict speech, religion, assembly, press, petition, arms, quartering, search and seizure, self-incrimination, due process, trial rights, jury rights, cruel and unusual punishment, or any other right protected by the Bill of Rights. It is purely declaratory.
Individual liberty · passes
The resolution does not restrict any individual's person, property, speech, labor, or belief. It merely expresses support for a health awareness month and imposes no burden on any individual.
Decentralization · passes
The resolution does not consolidate decision-making at any level of government. It is a symbolic statement that does not preempt state or local authority, nor does it impose any requirement on individuals or communities. It passes all four questions.
Due process and takings · passes
The resolution does not affect any person's life, liberty, or property. It does not trigger procedural or substantive due process concerns, nor does it involve any taking of property.
