This constitutional requirement makes the demand that only the elected Congress, not some private foreign (or even domestic) banking interest, has the power to make monetary policy.
Do you think the power to make monetary policy includes that to delegate the immense day-to-day job of monetary policy to an agency established for that purpose?

Then you would certainly argue that the Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq was unconstitutional.
No.
I prefer the Congress pass a simple single payer system funded by a combination of business profits and progressive income tax. MY preference would eliminate the private health insurance industry and the excessive overhead created by their inefficiency and excess executive bonuses.
No, way.
1 It is unconstitutional.
2. Look at the giant mess California is in due to their proposition system, referendums on sticky issues are just ways for legislators to avoid doing their job and are, in general, a bad idea.
should the people of the united states be allowed to vote on whether they want this health care bill or not?
No. Many Americans are too backwards in their way of thinking. Everything would become an us v them vote meant to embarrass the President and would not be based on logic or reason, hallmarks of the legislative process.
I think if this thing passes in its present form, it will be the worst thing the Democrats in Congress could do for their political future. If they're smart, they'll vote it down.

Pretty much.
I'm definitely not against health care reform, because the current system is a failure, but that doesn't mean I'm going to jump on board for the first piece of legislation that purports to fix it.
