H.RES.235
Title: Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1262) to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to authorize appropriations for State water pollution control revolving funds, and for other purposes.
Background (What circumstances necessitate Congressional action? /what happened to the Bill in Congress? Did it pass, or die in committee?):
To be in control of the water pollution acts funding, so that this act is effective, and useful to protecting our environment.
Goal of Action:
To ensure that the act has the ability to shine with all it’s potential.
Specifics/Means of Goal:
To make sure funding for the act is appropriate, so that its effective for protecting out natural waters.
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!):
It’s an implied power because the constitution does not go into detail about protecting the environment, but does state to ensure the well being of the people. Which is what this would fall under.
Analysis (Do you think Congress should do this according to its Constitutional powers?)
Yes because water is the universal solvent. It’s necessary for anything pure to survive, and flourish. Without healthy fresh water to drink, and use, we will, be an unhealthy, unsanitary, dying nation, that will slowly wither away.

I agree with you Will, they government should keep our water clean for the well being of us humans. Without clean water we will face many more problems with health and other environmental things than we already do today.
I agree with what you said about the government keeping us healthy and safe but I think that your analysis was a bit too emotional
