How I would save the country: Amendment XXVIII - Restoration of the Republic Amendment
Amendment XXVIII - Restoration of the Republic Amendment
Section 1
The validity of the public debt of the United States, including government debts incurred for issuance, purchase, sale or resale, or repackaging, or reforming, or guaranteeing, or implicitly guaranteeing of real estate loans and post-secondary-level student loans and derivatives thereof including debt arising from the Government's interference with otherwise insolvent banks and organizations affected by such obligations , shall be questioned.All such directly incurred debt shall be disclaimed and all guarantees of such debt held by other parties shall be repudiated.
All such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void if owed by the Federal Government. The financial obligations of previously classified "Government Sponsored Enterprises" shall be assumed , by share, to the political parties of the campaigns of candidates employees of the GSEs donated, also by share, the obligations shall be born to all Non-Profit Organizations that the GSEs' foundations funded. Upon the disestablishment of a NPO, the successor NPO shall assume the previous NPOs obligation share.These debts were incurred in bad faith and constitute a Social-Contract-breaking crime under this Constitution and thus it is illegal for the Government of the People of the United States to honor such destructive disingenuous obligations.
Section 2.
The Article III definition of Treason shall be expanded to also include Conspiracies to render the Government of the United States insolvent by the abusive assumption or issuance of knowingly unpayable debt.
The Article I Section 6 Treason exception to the protection against arrest shall be extended to include this definition expansion.
Section 3.
Until the Federal Government of the United States pays off all debt or has a balanced budget for more than 10 years (whatever comes last), the city of Washington in the Federal District shall be named "Pelosi" afterwhich the name "Washington" can be restored.
Section 4.
Article I Section 8 shall be amended from
"The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
Shall now read
"Restricted by the following enumeration, the Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
Article I Section 8 shall be amended from
"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"
shall now read
"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and to encourage ,ease and constructively facilitate in the most limited sense, Commerce among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"
Section 5
Article of Amendment XVI is hereby repealed
Article of Amendment XVII is hereby repealed. The restoration of the original rules will be by Class when that Class election normally occurs.
Section 6
The "Progressive Era" Amendments (excluding Amendment XIX) shall be regarded as a direct attack upon the Principles of the American Revolution and Self-Governance.
All schools shall teach their students that such ideas are anathema to the Republic of the United States of America.
Treason shall be expanded to included anyone who teaches a student otherwise
Section 7
The Federal Reserve System of the United States shall be abolished within one year of adoption of this Article of Amendment.All Federal Reserve Notes shall be redeemed by that amount of gold which shall be established by Congress and shall not be altered subsequent to the initial valuation.
Federal Reserve Notes shall be invalid for the tendering of any debt public or private two years after the adoption of this Article of Amendment
Any bank notes in the future shall be issued purely by private banks for non public purposes. The Congress of the United States has no authority to delegate matters of currency to any institution which shall do so by the issuance of notes or electronic equivilent of notes.
Unless you are counting social security and medicare/medicaid I think that number is erroneous. As the CBO projects that social security, medicare/medicaid and interest on the national debt will consume every dollar raised by the federal government sometime in the 2020s or 2030s (don't remember specifically when but we can look it up) it is clear that the other entitlement programs take up a major portion of the budget. BTW, they are now 'projecting' that care for our returning veterans will cost 1+ Trillion dollars sometime in the next couple of decades. Not sure how rhey come to that but it is something to be concerned about, especially if they are using this as a reason to apply Obama-care to veterans.
