The Trump government quietly removes sections of the Constitution including Habeas Corpus, the Titles and Emoluments clause, States’ rights, and for some reason the requirement to maintain a Navy.

  3. The thing that amazes me is I always connect Habeas Corpus with the Magna Carta in 1215. The Magna Carta was an early attempt to curb the power of Kings and foundational to Western Law.

  8. Well, if there is no constitution there’s no country. If there’s no country I can stop paying taxes right?

  9. Technically it’s still in the constitution, he doesn’t have the power to make that change, he just hid that section on the government website. Congress is the only one with the authority to amend the constitution. I feel like I would have heard about this, because it’d be a huge deal. I’d assume it’s just subterfuge.

  11. So is a lot of the stuff regulating how the federal military forces can work domestically in Section 8.

    Which is the weirdest part. Maybe some kind of glitch for dropping 9 and 10, but editing 8 seems a lot harder to explain.

  12. Despite expectations, Trump can’t edit the Constitution on a whim. That’s what SCOTUS does for him.

  13. I mean, its still in the Constitution, they cant just delete it. This is fucking moronic of them.

  14. Just because they’ve removed it from a website does not mean it’s been removed from the constitution. That would take a lot of compliance from dems in congress.

  15. Article 9 includes things like:

    “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”

    “No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state”

    “No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.”

    “No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”

    Article 10:

    “No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.”

    “No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.”

    “**No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”**

    Article 1:

    “**Article One of the Constitution of the United States** establishes the legislative branch of the federal government, the United States Congress. Under Article One, Congress is a bicameral legislature consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate.^([1]: 73)  Article One grants Congress enumerated powers and the ability to pass laws “necessary and proper” to carry out those powers. Article One also establishes the procedures for passing a bill and places limits on the powers of Congress and the states from abusing their powers.”

    “Section 4 of Article One grants the states the power to regulate the congressional election process but establishes that Congress can alter those regulations or make its own regulations. Section 4 also requires Congress to assemble at least once per year. Section 5 lays out rules for both houses of Congress and grants the House of Representatives and the Senate the power to judge their own elections, determine the qualifications of their own members, and punish or expel their own members. Section 6 establishes the compensation, privileges, and restrictions of those holding congressional office. Section 7 lays out the procedures for passing a bill, requiring both houses of Congress to pass a bill for it to become law, subject to the veto power of the president of the United States. Under Section 7, the president can veto a bill, but Congress can override the president’s veto with a two-thirds vote of both chambers.”

    “Section 8 lays out the powers of Congress. It includes several enumerated powers, including the power to lay and collect “taxes, duties, imposts, and excises” (provided duties, imposts, and excises are uniform throughout the United States), “to provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States”, the power to regulate interstate and international commerce, the power to set naturalization laws, the power to coin and regulate money, the power to borrow money on the credit of the United States, the power to establish post offices and post roads, the power to establish federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court, the power to raise and support an army and a navy, the power to call forth the militia “to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions” and to provide for the militia’s “organizing, arming, disciplining … and governing” and granting Congress the power to declare war.^([1]: 373)  Section 8 also provides Congress the power to establish a federal district to serve as the national capital and gives Congress the exclusive power to administer that district. In addition to its enumerated powers, Section 8 grants Congress the power to make laws necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers and other powers vested in it. Section 9 places limits on the power of Congress, banning bills of attainder and other practices. Section 10 places limits on the states, prohibiting them from entering into alliances with foreign powers, impairing contracts, taxing imports or exports above the minimum level necessary for inspection, keeping armies, or engaging in war without the consent of Congress.”

  16. Trump: The 28th Amendment, pedophilia is legalized for Donald John Trump King of the Americas, the Universe, and the Epstein Files, Lord of the 196 kingdoms and Protector of the Realm and biggest douche in the universe.

  18. They didn’t remove shit. They are choosing to ignore it.

    All of you rightwingers that carry around little constitutions in your wallets, and won’t shut up about constitutional rights, where you at?

    Speak up now or go down as complicit.

  19. Do Americans see how bad this is?
    I thought 2020 was bad with Covid, but this is pretty shitty too.

    Anyone mobilizing or just “wait and see”?

    See you in the camps, Comrades!

  20. Breaking, Supreme Court rules 6:3 that removing sections from Congress’ website means they no longer exist.

  21. Are they not aware that if we cede economic dominance, tank all the soft power we have, our only bargain chip left is the Navy…

  23. I’ve already emailed my Governor, Senators, and Representative about this, while also alerting my family, posting on social media about it, and tipping off news contacts. Everyone really needs to be doing the same!

  24. The countries being ran by a spoiled fuck who’s too proud of his own personal cult of cocksuckers being to scared about his pedophilic rapist past to release unedited files of a case he personally insisted both existed and tried to use on other politicians and celebrities for years, before suddenly collapsing under the weight and yet again lying to protect his ego and power for the thousandth time, and the rich fuckers on top treat their relationship with him like how he treats his relationship with Putin, as in going back and forth between being the best of friends and “hating” each other to appear to the idiots down below that they’re in no way connected, until they are suddenly friends again a day later.

    The civil war started over slavery, or as the south would call it “states rights”, a new civil war if it ever comes would start out of sheer shame from even being a part of this failed experiment.

  25. Hey confederacy. Remember those state’s rights yall love so much? Well? Do ya?

  27. How is he allowed to quietly change the constitution??

  28. Lmao hiding parts of it doesn’t remove them. Also, they forget people have pocket constitutions? They going to confiscate all constitutions?

  30. Follow the money:

    The Navy generals must be non-compliant anti-fascists, so he’s gonna dissolve the Navy. Roll them into the Coast Guard, perhaps, or even the Space Force.

  31. They removed it from a website.

    Not the fucking constitution.
