The group was founded and formerly led by Republican U.S. Representative Scott Garrett of New Jersey,[3][4] who sought to push the Republican Party leadership to move increasingly to the right.[3] HistoryThe Caucus was informally created by Representatives J. D. Hayworth, John Shadegg, Sam Brownback, Bob Barr, and Richard Pombo in the 104th Congress. According to the group, its purpose was to encourage constitutional debate in Congress and the nation and, in time, to restore constitutional government.[5] The Caucus was officially registered as a Congressional Member Organization in 2005 by Congressmen Scott Garrett, Virginia Foxx, and Rob Bishop. In a 2006 interview, the three described themselves as leading "...a team dedicated to downsizing the amount of power usurped from the states by the federal government." [6] In 2011, the group's membership grew rapidly following the entrance of new Tea Party-aligned members elected in the 2010 elections.[3] In 2011, the Caucus and the Tea Party Caucus jointly sponsored a closed-door speech to the caucuses by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on the topic of "separation of powers."[7] At its peak in the 113th Congress, the Congressional Constitution Caucus had 76 members. However, the caucus possessed over 100 members when it existed informally in the 104th Congress.[5] Ideology and political issuesThe members of the Caucus are strongly opposed to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and are outspoken opponents of the individual health mandate.[8] The group has supported constitutional challenges to the ACA. In 2014, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected one such challenge in the case Sissel v. United States Department of Health & Human Services (ruling that the ACA did not violate the Origination Clause of the Constitution),[9] the Caucus issued a statement saying "The judges got it wrong."[10] According to the founders of the Caucus, the main focus of the Caucus is to "ensure the federal government is operating under the intent of the 10th Amendment of our Bill of Rights." The Caucus has worked towards this goal through sponsoring legislation like H.R. 3449, H.R. 1227, and H.R. 1229.[6] MembershipAs of the 115th Congress, the Congressional Constitution Caucus has 69 members. 68 in the House, and 1 in the Senate. The current members of the Caucus are listed below, listed alphabetically.[11] Leadership

ControversyThe Congressional Constitution Caucus has been seen by many members of the Press and public as being hypocritical on a number of issues due to the Caucus claiming they wish to be bipartisan, yet siding with the Republican Party on nearly every issue. Notable examples include: Indefinite detention without chargeOn December 14, 2011, the United States House of Representatives voted on H.R 1540, a bill which grants government agents the power to detain people without placing them under arrest, to imprison people without charge indefinitely, without a right to a trial and without a chance to learn what their rights are. While 18 of the 74 Caucus members at the time voted against the law, the remaining 56 members voted for the law which has been called by numerous groups unconstitutional.[47] References1. ^{{cite web|title=About Us|url=https://congressionalconstitutioncaucus-garrett.house.gov/about-us/membership|language= English|website=Congressional Constitution Caucus|accessdate=November 29, 2016}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Hooper|first1=Molly K.|title=Constitution is this year’s big best-seller|url=http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/99099-constitution-is-this-years-big-best-seller|language= English|accessdate=November 29, 2016|publisher=The Hill|date=May 21, 2010}} 3. ^1 2 Ramond Hernandez, [https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/19/nyregion/republican-scott-garrett-an-ideological-oddity-in-new-jersey.html Still an Ideological Oddity in New Jersey, but a Rising Force in His Party], New York Times (April 18, 2011). 4. ^Jonathan Allen, [https://www.politico.com/story/2011/03/hill-on-libya-big-bark-little-bite-051777?o=1 Hill on Libya: Big bark, little bite], Politico (March 23, 2017). 5. ^1 {{cite web|url= https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/cato-handbook-policymakers/2003/9/hb108-3.pdf|title= CATO Handbook for Congress|publisher= Cato Institute|language= English|page= 22|access-date= April 27, 2017}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://humanevents.com/2006/05/10/new-congressional-caucus-defends-tenth-amendment/|title=Congressional Caucus Defends Tenth Amendment|work= humanevents.com|date= May 10, 2006|access-date= March 11, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/21/scotus.scalia.tea.party/|title= Justice Scalia set to address Tea Party Caucus on Capitol Hill|publisher= CNN|date= January 21, 2011}} 8. ^{{cite web|url= http://congressionalconstitutioncaucus-garrett.house.gov/issue/individual-mandate|title= Individual Mandate Press Release| publisher= Congressional Constitution Caucus|language= English| access-date= March 17, 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|url= https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/0DAD4A1E3A868F6385257D24004FA91E/$file/13-5202-1504947.pdf|title= DC Court of Appeals ruling on Sisel vs. HHS|publisher=DC Circuit Court of Apppeals|language= English|access-date= April 25, 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web|url= http://congressionalconstitutioncaucus-garrett.house.gov/press-release/garrett-statement-court-appeals-ruling-gutting-origination-clause|title= Garrett Statement on Court of Appeals ruling gutting the Origination Clause|publisher= The Congressional Constitution Caucus|date= July 30, 2014|access-date= April 25, 2017|language= English}} 11. ^{{Cite web| url=https://congressionalconstitutioncaucus-garrett.house.gov/about-us/membership|title= Membership of the Congressional Constitution Caucus| access-date= March 11, 2017}} 12. ^{{cite web|url= http://abc30.com/news/republicans-up-5-seats-in-race-to-control-senate/380215/|title= Republicans up 5 seats in race to control Senate|publisher= ABC 30|date= November 5, 2014| access-date= April 27, 2017}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2010/results/michigan.html|title= Michigan Election Results 2010| publisher= New York Times| date= November 7, 2010|access-date= April 25, 2016}} 14. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/01/14/20100114shadegg-will-not-seek-re-election.html|title= Shadegg will not seek reelection|publisher= The Arizona Republic|last= Norowick |first= Dan|date= January 15, 2010| language= English|access-date= April 27, 2017}} 15. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/club-for-growth-backs-marlin-stutzman-in-second-play-for-indiana-senate-win/article/2569288|title= Club for Growth backs Marlin Stutzman in second play for Indiana Senate Win|publisher= The Washington Examiner|date= July 20, 2015|access-date= April 25, 2017}} 16. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/09/on_the_hill_ny_times_praises_s.html| title= On the Hill, NY Times praises Sen.
