Powers of Congress (1947)

A fantasy is employed in this film to define and explain the powers of Congress. A man drops off to sleep for a few minutes to find himself confronted with a world in which Congress has been suspended and federal authority dissolved. When he awakes from his dream, he has a new understanding of congressional powers and authority. Fantasy scenes include: man discovering that there is no longer a Federal postal service, only private companies; man discovering that there is no longer U.S. currency since each state coins its own money military personnel dressed in various uniforms since each state has its own army, navy and air force man about to be evicted from his house because his FHA loan is no longer valid To help with the A/V Geeks mission to share these forgotten films unearthed in their archive, this film and hundreds of others can be purchased on DVD (http://www.avgeeks.com/wp2/all-av-geeks-dvds/).
