Fade Resistance Performance
The Spinmeisters at 1933 RPM...
Talk about hackem up - Section 2 of this amendment modifies Article I, section 4, of the Constitution; then Section 3 goes farther by hacking Amendment 12 of this same document. The language of Sections 5 and 6 even have the feel of "Lets make it up as we go". At this point, Socialism is coming in to view. - Ratified January 23, 1933.
Amendment XX…
Section 1. The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.
Section 2. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.
Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
Section 4. The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the House of Representatives may choose a President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them, and for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the Senate may choose a Vice President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them.
Section 5. Sections 1 and 2 shall take effect on the 15th day of October following the ratification of this article.
Section 6. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission.
This amendment transfers more of the Power vested in the People to the Government. Amendments 16, 18, and 21 have become some of the most profuse examples of the Government profaning the Framers' intent of the (Bill of) Rights of the People - Ratified December 5, 1933.
Amendment XXI…
Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.
The following amendment insures cronyism, the Constitution clearly affirms the abilty by the People to Impeach a President for any number of illegal infractions, but this insures a President to be dislodged from office even if he/she is executing their job flawlessly. The peoples Rights are diminished even further and the Government now controls the Presidency - Ratified February 27, 1951.
Amendment XXII...
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
The following amendment defines Washington D.C. as a State like any other in regards to the Presidential Vote. It uses the wording of Amendment 12, which had already been modified and superseded by Section 3 of the 20th amendment as it collectively hacks Article II, section 1, of the Constitution into oblivion. The Government can now alter the outcome of a Presidential Election by voting for itself, and Section 2 gives itself (the Federal Government) permission to construe it (this amendment) however it sees fit. What a Country! - Ratified March 29, 1961.
Amendment XXIII…
Section 1. The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
