Lyrics from "I'm just a Bill" song (at least 10 words)
I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.
States have to respect the laws of other states
What is the "Full Faith and Credit Clause"?
