HB796 would begin a formal process for Texas to declare certain federal acts as unconstitutional and prevent their enforcement.
The House passed HB796 on May 7, 2025, by a vote of 94 to 53. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the several States have a duty to interpose on behalf of the American people and nullify all unconstitutional acts by the federal government. The U.S. Constitution established a limited federal government with “few and defined” powers. Whenever the federal government assumes undelegated powers, in flagrant violation of the 10th Amendment, interposition is necessary, and nullification of such lawless acts is the proper remedy.
