This is simply false. Congress is the body of the people's elected
representatives *only* for the purpose of the federal government.
Congress enacts federal laws. They may *only* constitutionally enact
federal laws in areas allowed to them by the Constitution.

Your interpretations of the Constitution are getting screwier all the
time. First, the Constitution does not tell Congress the areas in
which they may *not* act; it tells them the areas in which they *are*
authorized to act, and everything else is BY PRESUMPTION forbidden to
them.

Secondly, Congress is NOT "the people". It is the body of the people's
representatives *only* for the purpose of the federal government.
