    „(…) Trump dismissed the #WarPowersAct, a law limiting any president's use of force beyond 60 days without #congressionalauthorization, describing the law as "totally unconstitutional."

    "It's never been used before. Why should we be different?" Trump said, signaling he would not seek congressional authorization to continue the war with Iran.“

  5. This entire SAVE con is a Poll Tax. Poll Taxes were abolished by the 24th amendment.

    However, in order to be able to vote if the SAVE act passes, you will need to spend hundreds of dollars and possibly months of time.

    The Republicans are working to instate an illegal election policy change, in the same year as an election, as close to the election as possible. The change targets voters who don’t vote for Trump. Yes it will be overturned eventually by the Supremes, but not in time for 2026 elections

  6. Post: 📜 The U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787 and is still in use today—making it one of the oldest written constitutions in the world.
    It starts with three powerful words: “We the People.”
    That idea still shapes democracy today. 🏛️

  8. RE: mstdn.party/@elfunrokr/1163652

    figures...

    "80% Americans believe the Supreme Court should..." -->> Do something NOT found in the Constitution.

    I could be way off here, but I dont think there is anything in the #USConstitution about #SCOTUS terminating the #potus

    There is #impeachment

    And the #25th Amendment, which requires the VP and the Cabinet to invoke.

    That it.

    Thats why we have #Elections

  9. @SuneAuken Yes, but he won't. He doesn't give a shit about #Epstein, #Iran, #Gaza, #Ukraine, #NATO, #Earth, #OrdinaryAmericans, #AnyoneNotTrump, #USConstitution & #RuleOfLaw.
    I'd say that today, he's more peeved about a CPAC poll that made Vance the preferred GOP nominee for the 2028 election.

  10. @aaron.rupar

    "Being a citizen in our country is a privilege, not a right."
    -Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi (who has apparently never read the US Constitution)

    Among other things (so many other things), it is called the "Bill of Rights", not the "Bill of Privileges."

    "they are hewing to a kind of strict originalist understanding…"

    "strict originalist understanding"

    Sort of like some #US #Republicans and the US #Constitution

    All with the #OriginalIntent and all

    Until it no longer suits their agenda to care

  12. Is Trump's Vice President quietly positioning himself as the 'anti-war hero' to take over after Trump is removed from power (25th Amendment) or soon will be un-alive? No one has the balls to follow the Constitution and 25th Amendment his ass and it is pretty obvious now that Trump is not in good health.

    JD Vance might be quiet at the moment but he is still complicit.

  13. Today marks the anniversary of the first inauguration of John Adams in 1797. This occasion marked the first peaceful transition of power between heads of state. A cornerstone moment in the great experiment of democracy.

    In John Adams inauguration address he said:

    "Returning to the bosom of my country after a painful separation from it for ten years, I had the honor to be elected to a station under the new order of things, and I have repeatedly laid myself under the most serious obligations to support the Constitution. The operation of it has equaled the most sanguine expectations of its friends, and from an habitual attention to it, satisfaction in its administration, and delight in its effects upon the peace, order, prosperity, and happiness of the nation I have acquired an habitual attachment to it and veneration for it."

    "What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love?"

    "There may be little solidity in an ancient idea that congregations of men into cities and nations are the most pleasing objects in the sight of superior intelligences, but this is very certain, that to a benevolent human mind there can be no spectacle presented by any nation more pleasing, more noble, majestic, or august, than an assembly like that which has so often been seen in this and the other Chamber of Congress, of a Government in which the Executive authority, as well as that of all the branches of the Legislature, are exercised by citizens selected at regular periods by their neighbors to make and execute laws for the general good. Can anything essential, anything more than mere ornament and decoration, be added to this by robes and diamonds? Can authority be more amiable and respectable when it descends from accidents or institutions established in remote antiquity than when it springs fresh from the hearts and judgments of an honest and enlightened people?"

    "In the midst of these pleasing ideas we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good. If that solitary suffrage can be obtained by foreign nations by flattery or menaces, by fraud or violence, by terror, intrigue, or venality, the Government may not be the choice of the American people, but of foreign nations. It may be foreign nations who govern us, and not we, the people, who govern ourselves; and candid men will acknowledge that in such cases choice would have little advantage to boast of over lot or chance."

    In a letter to his wife the next day, Adams wrote:

    "In the Chamber of the House of Representatives, was a Multitude as great as the Space could contain, and I believe Scarcely a dry Eye but Washingtons. The Sight of the Sun Setting full orbut and another rising tho less Splendid, was a novelty." 

    His full inauguration address is available here:

    When my family and I took a tour of Congress Hall in Philadelphia, we sat in the room where this ceremony took place. Apparently, at that time many people believed that George Washington would not willingly relinquish his office. The park ranger told us that the crowd that Adams described came to see if this peaceful transition of power would indeed, really take place. A novelty, indeed! 

    We should not take for granted how novel this is, how fortunate citizens of the USA have been to see this tradition honored and preserved, and how easily it could all be lost.
