Know the Constitution!

Many – if not most – Americans are ignorant of the United
States Constitution. That is tragic since it is the Law.
If another law is written but differs with the Constitution,
then it does not exist. It is void. If the President
issues an Executive Order doubling the pay of employees in
the Executive, then it is an illegal order. The President
may hire high-level employees without the consent of the
Senate, but if the Law requires consent, then they are not
employees; need not be paid; and any actions which they
take are void. If a person becomes President who is not a
natural born citizen, then all actions that he takes as
President are void.
Many – if not most – Americans believe that any baby born in
the United States is by Law an American citizen. That is
false. The 14th Amendment states: “All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and
of the state wherein they reside.” A diplomat to the United
Nations who is in New York with his wife has “diplomatic
immunity” for himself and his wife. If she gives birth,
then she - and now her child - were NOT subject to the
jurisdiction of New York nor the United States. Similarly
in 1868 when the 14th Amendment was ratified, an Indian
living on a reservation and subject to tribal law, would not
become a citizen of the United States. The purpose of the
14th Amendment was to grant citizenship to slaves and their
children. To take a phrase out of the context and enforce
it is illegal. Criminals should not euphemistically be
called “undocumented aliens”; they are criminals. They are
also not entitled to the Constitutional rights of citizens.
Consider Paul being chained by Roman soldiers in Acts 22 and
23. Paul asks: “Is it legal for you to lash a man who is a
Roman citizen without a proper trial?” and “the commanding
officer was frightened when he realized that Paul was a
Roman citizen and that he had had him tied up.”
Consider a Federal bureaucracy – the Internal Revenue
Service. The 16th Amendment gives Congress the “power to
lay and collect taxes on incomes.” Only the Congress may
make the rules. Any of the 92,000 pages of IRS code which
has not been passed by Congress is void.
Similar bureaucracies have been created for business
regulation with Sarbannes-Oxley; for health care regulation
with Obamacare; and for banking regulation with Dodd-Frank.
The problems which these bureaucracies seek to regulate were
caused by bad laws passed by Congress. The people who wrote
the enforcement laws were also the “lawmakers” who wrote the
original “ bad laws” which were abused [legally]. To
continue as a nation with a Constitutional rule of law, we
the people need to re-institute our authority.
