S.AMDT.693
Background (What circumstances necessitate Congressional action?/What happened to the Bill in Congress? Did it pass, or die in committee?):
This is an amendment to the H.R. 1388, "The Edward M. Kennedy serve America Act, an Act to reauthorize and reform the national service laws." This law includes the school and community-based service-learning programs and higher education innovative programs for community serve. This also amends the S.AMDT.687, which is an amendment to H.R.1388. The modified amendment was agreed to in the Senate by Unanimous Consent.

Specifics/Means of Goal:
To ensure that organizations promoting competitive and non-competitive sporting events involving individuals with disabilities may receive direct and indirect assistance to carry out national service programs.
Type of Power (Is Congress acting according to an expressed or implied power? If it is implied, what expressed power grants it? - Check the Constitution to figure this out!):
Congress is using an implied power. I think that the expressed power that would grant this is the regulating commerce one because this amendment deals with established organizations so could be considered commerce across state lines.
Analysis (Do you think Congress should do this according to its Constitutional powers?)
No, I think that they are stretching the term commerce and using it in a way the the framers did not intend.
