Hi, I'm Ted Cruz and this is the Freedom Minute

Happy Constitution Day!

In honor of this day, I'd like to share a memorization trick that I learned for remembering Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution -- the enumerated powers of Congress.

All you need to do is remember TCC-NCC-PCC pawn momma wren.

It sounds funny but here is how it works:

TCC stands for: "Taxes," "Credit," "Commerce."

NCC for: "Naturalization," "Coinage," "Counterfeiting."

PCC for: "Post Office," "Copyright," "Courts."

Pawn for: "Piracy," "Army," "War," "Navy."

Momma for: "Militia" and "Money for militia."

And wren for: "Washington DC," "Rules," and "Necessary and proper."

Try it yourself and share it with your friends. TCC-NCC-PCC pawn momma wren.

If everybody knew the enumerated powers, maybe Congress would follow them.

Thanks for listening. I'm Ted Cruz and this is the Freedom Minute.
