Think Progress » Iowa GOP Supports Amendment To Strip Obama's |
Since "ThinkProgress.org" refused to post my comment about its incorrect, misleading, and divisive article having to do with the Iowa GOP's desire to reintroduce the "Titles of Nobility and Honour amendment", I decided to post a rebuttal on my website in the hopes that the word would get out. The Constitution of the United States has ALWAYS had a prohibition against accepting gifts, offices, pensions and other emoluments of any type whatsoever from a foreign power without Congressional approval. Obama doesn't give a tinkers damn about the Constitution and neither do most others in the federal government. Our government is not of, by and for the people. It is a CORPORATION!! TITLE 28 > PART VI > CHAPTER 176 > SUBCHAPTER A > § 3002 Definitions (15) “United States” means— (A) a Federal corporation; (B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or (C) an instrumentality of the United States. They exist to make money. You and I are barely more then a consumer/commodity from which they make some of that money. Geezzz, what does it take to get it through your head that they don't give a F**K about you!! The intent of the prohibition was to keep our political leaders loyal to the American people and our political, judicial, and legislative systems. The effect of not having a penalty is that anyone can be bought, bribed, manipulated, and corrupted from an outside (foreign) source without any legal challenge or punishment whatsoever. The penalty set out in the Titles of Nobility and Honour amendment was loss of citizenship. This would simply mean that they could no longer run for or hold any office of profit or trust in the United States. It did not mean at the time it was proposed or ratified that they would be a person without a country. Their status would could be changed to "American National" allowing them to continue to work and exist in the U.S. I don't know how many times I have to say this, but ESQUIRE IS NOT A TITLE OF NOBILITY !!! Lawyers WOULD NOT lose their citizenship. I have researched this subject now for a little over 5 years. I have examined countless piles of certified records from the National Archives and Records Administration, Library of Congress, State and University sources, to include many original books of that period. Did the authors of the article posted on ThinkProgress.org put this much research time in on the subject? NO! Did those that made the childish and politically divisive comments put in the research time? NO! If an amendment to the Constitution could have a horrific impact on you ( a politician), but you were in a position to see that it would not become law, wouldn't you do it? Of course you would. And, that's just what they did. The amendment was ratified by a sufficient number of the several states on March 12, 1819 and should have been adopted as law on August 29, 1821. But, the general government failed to recognize the actions of Virginia. Over a period of decades, when most had died off, they killed it by certifying the Constitution with only 12 amendments in 1846. Stanley Evans - August 26, 2010 |
