City, near Raytown. While still in high school, he started working for the
Kansas City Police Department and worked there for 12 years. Over the past 30
years, John started and ran several businesses in construction, sales,
cellular and computers. In his responses to the Democrat’s questions, Webb often referred to the
enumerated powers, a list of items found in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S.
Constitution that set forth the authoritative capacity of Congress. Federal Spending Do you believe the Federal Government is fiscally responsible at this
time? “What I would like to do is take the enumerated powers — because the
enumerated powers said that the federal government shall be limited to the
enumerated powers in the Constitution because all the other powers are
reserved for the states — bring the budget up, and ask one question. Is it an
enumerated power? “If it’s not an enumerate power, I believe it is illegal for the federal
government to be involved in those activities, because they are supposed to
be reserved for the state.” Energy What are the solutions to the country’s energy needs and what is your
position on the President’s Climate Action Plan? “I would like to see the EPA, all bureaucratic agencies, all judicial and
all presidential, kept from making laws rules and regulation. According to
the Constitution, the legislative
branch is the only branch that can make laws. I feel like most of the
regulation you’re speaking of (the President’s Action Plan) did not come from
the legislature and is not appropriate and does not hold constructional
authority. “I think we need to drill baby drill. Coal, hydro, every possible source
of energy should be explored and utilized.” The Affordable Care Act What is your stance on the Affordable Healthcare Act? “It needs to be repealed in its entirety. For one thing, it’s not an
enumerated power and that should be enough. But aside from that government
adds costs and inefficiencies to everything it does. We should get government
out of as many things as possible.” Paid for by John Webb for Congress |
