'''Statutory term analysis''' is a method of analyzing a statutory term in a [[law]] to ensure that it is [[United States Congress|Congress]], not a [[judge]], who has the power to make laws under Article I, section 8, clause 18 of the U.S. Constitution (the [[Necessary and Proper Clause]]).  The '''Statutory Term Analysis (STA) method''' includes using only the text of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20030406080226/http://www.gpoaccess.gov/crecord/index.html United States Congressional Record] as [[evidence]] of the legal meaning of a term in a [[federal law|federal statute]] and provides new detailed [[federal rules of evidence]] to a [[judge]] on how the [[judge|judge (or judges)]] is to consider the timing, weight, and order of analysis of that [[evidence]] in the [[judicial_opinion|court-issued opinion]].{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}}
