US Constitution Part 2 of 2

Article 2
Article 3
Article 4
Article 5
Article 6
Article 7
Bill of Rights
Amendments 11-27

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President"

You know, when I first heard that Obama was not born in America, I doubted there was any truth to that claim.  However, as time passed and he still did not show any proof, I am beginning to wonder if he was indeed born in another country.  Why would he not come forth with proof if he has it?  If it doesn't make sense, then it probably isn't true and it doesn't make sense to withhold information of him being born inside the country if he was born here.

"The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another State, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state."

All that ranting and raving about citizens vs other states and they change the law within a decade.  So their powers are now even less than during the Federalist Papers and during that time I couldn't find where all these social programs would fall under. 

"Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."

Could anyone find a way to put what Fonda did during Vietnam, not in the basket of treason?  Clearly adhering and giving aid to our enemies.  I could certainly twist other things to appear as treason as well, but I won't for now. lol

"The senators and representatives before-mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this constitution"

We must hold them accountable to this oath!  WE must!!

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

Make no law...establishing or prohibiting.  It says nothing about public displays having anything to do with religion.  I believe that public displays should be able to have religious symbols is the majority of people approve of it.  This offense taken by minorities must stop.  It does not take away any freedoms by a majority of the town approving a manger scene.  There is no wall of separation between church and state either.  That is all smoke and mirrors.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

You go Texas!!!  It is about time a state stood up and said they aren't going to take it anymore! 

"XVII - U.S. Senators to be elected by direct popular vote

Passed by Congress May 13, 1912. Ratified April 8, 1913."

Democracy is just a prelude to oligarchy which means that it is not sustainable and hence is why our founders did not choose a democracy, but a Republic.  I do like having many different ways our representatives get elected.  1913 is a time when Wilson was president which means his progressive movement towards oligarchy was in motion.  This just reasserts to myself, that my first intuitive belief on this subject is correct. 

"XXIII - Presidential vote for the District of Columbia

Passed by Congress June 16, 1960. Ratified March 29, 1961."

Why?  Is St. Paul separate from the rest of the state when voting for Governor?  Why should DC be "special"?  Elitists I tell ya...

Well, that was all for the Constitution.  Time to start some research!
