[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Maybe someone can explain this to me. CNN said that Bush plans on implementing his plan, and that it is possible to do so Constitutionally. Amendment I: [i]Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof[/i] Isn't giving money to religious organizations respecting an establishment of religion? And since, IIRC, Bush has gotta get his plan approved by Congress ... ? Er, in other words: a) I don't understand why this plan is going forth. b) If I'm misunderstanding something, please tell me now. If Bush is planning on giving money to any (or all) religious groups, I don't see how he can legally do that because, as I understand it, that would have to be ratified by Congress, which is forbidden from doing so by the above. c) Since I'm pretty sure I'm not misunderstanding anything, isn't this sort of a slap in the face of the people on this BBoard who've said that Republicans don't break the law? (I won't mention the "Contract with America") d) I almost forgot. What is the reasoning that this can be done without violating the First Amendment and the Constitution? [/QB][/QUOTE]
