Non-Existent Amendments
to the
Constitution for The United States of America
Over the years, the Constitution for our newly formed government of The United States
of America has been transformed with Amendments, some of which are questionable in
their adoption and ratification.
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary,
shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of
the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention
for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents
and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures
of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof,
as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress;
Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year one
thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth
Page 1 of 2
clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without
its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”

Preamble
Introduction
The Preamble sets the stage for the Constitution. It clearly communicates the intentions
of the framers and the purpose of the Document. The Preamble is an introduction to
the highest law of the land; it is not the law. It does not define government powers
nor individual rights.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty
to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for
the United States of America."

People of the United States
The phrase “We the People of the United States” has been addressed by
the “Harvard Law Review” wherein there is an agreement that the phrase
“We the People” refers to “all members of the political community.” [District of Columbia
v. Heller, 128 S. Ct. 2783, 2790 (2008)]. /1 The Court did not
define “the political community.” It is not a self-defining phrase.
Negroes
In regard to the “Negros,” they were captured and imported into the United States for
the purpose of being made “Slaves.” A few were granted the status of “free persons”
by those states that outlawed “Slavery.”
When the Constitution was written for The United States of America, the founding
fathers was required to make provisions in that Document that would preserve
the “Slavery” of “Negroes” which existed in the southern states before those states
would adopt and ratify the Constitution. This provision of the Constitution is found
at Article I, Section 9, Clause 1:
“The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing
shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to
the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may
be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.”
At the time the Constitution for The United States of America was written, the “Slaves”
of the “Negros” were not considered to be a part of “We the People” of the Preamble.
This question was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of “Dred Scott
1/ “https://tinyurl.com/23ukt6ww”
Page 3 of 101
v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857),” /2 a “Court Opinion” which stands today
(notwithstanding the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution
for The United States of America):
“The question is simply this: Can a negro, whose ancestors were imported into
this country, and sold as slaves, become a member of the political community
formed and brought into existence by the Constitution of the United States, and
as such become entitled to all of the rights, and privileges, and immunities,
guaranteed by that instrument to the citizen?” [Emphases added]
“We think ... that [black people] are not included, and were not intended to
be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can therefore
claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and
secures to citizens of the United States. On the contrary, they were at that time
[of America's founding] considered as a subordinate and inferior class of beings
who had been subjugated by the dominant race, and, whether emancipated
or not, yet remained subject to their authority, and had no rights or privileges
but such as those who held the power and the Government might choose
to grant them.” [Emphases added]

Undocumented Immigrants
Women
In regard to women, under the doctrine of Coverture, a married women was not
included as one of “We the People” of the Preamble for all the rights described therein
that may have belong to the unmarried women have now become the rights of
her husband.
Under traditional English Common Law, an adult unmarried woman was considered to
have the legal status of “feme sole,” while a married woman had the status
of “feme covert.” These terms are “English” spellings of medieval Anglo-Norman
phrases (the modern standard French spellings would be “femme seule” {single woman}
and “femme couverte,” literally {covered woman}).
3/ “https://tinyurl.com/59uhan6z”
Page 5 of 101
The principle of Coverture was described in William Blackstone's “Commentaries on
the Laws of England” /4 in the late 18th century:
“By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being
or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least
is incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing,
protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called in our
law-French a feme-covert; is said to be covert-baron, or under the protection
and influence of her husband, her baron, or lord; and her condition during
her marriage is called her coverture. Upon this principle, of a union of person
in husband and wife, depend almost all the legal rights, duties, and disabilities,
that either of them acquire by the marriage. I speak not at present of the rights
of property, but of such as are merely personal. For this reason, a man cannot
grant any thing to his wife, or enter into covenant with her: for the grant would
be to suppose her separate existence; and to covenant with her, would be only
to covenant with himself: and therefore it is also generally true, that all
compacts made between husband and wife, when single, are voided by
the intermarriage.” [Emphasis added].
Further proof that married women were not of the “political community”
of “We the People of the United States,” the founding fathers implied such status within
the writing of the Constitution for The United States of America that all “Offices” of
the Constitution shall be held by the white male Caucasian race (later amended by
the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to include all male races).
In regard to the U.S. House of Representatives, you will find the word he is used once
in U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 2, Clause 2 and for the U.S. Senate, the word he
is used three (3) times and the word his is used once (1) in U.S. Constitution Article I,
Section 3, Clause 3 and U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 3, Clause 5. The words he
and his are gender specific. (Did you know that the 14th Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution does not grant “Political Rights” of holding “Public Offices of Trust”
to women.).
4/ “https://tinyurl.com/npkys2k5”
Page 6 of 101
It may be argued that the word he (as used in describing the gender of
the House of Representatives) is used only once and therefore the word was never
intended to be gender specific by the founding fathers. This myth is dispelled when
the founding fathers used the word he three (3) times in describing the qualifications of
a U.S. Senator. In Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the founding fathers used
the word he fifteen (15) times, the word his six (6) times, and the word him six (6) times
in describing the qualifications and duties of the “President” of the United States.
With the words he, his, and him being used to describe the qualifications and duties of
the “President,” these pronoun terms must be recognized as being used to define
the words person and natural born citizen of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of
the Constitution for The United States of America. The Office of “President”
(and “Vice-President”) is limited to the white Caucasian male Citizens of
the United States.
Nowhere within the Constitution for The United States of America (as written in the year
of 1787) will you locate the words female, women, nor the pronouns her, or she.
They simply do not exist.
The Women and Negroes that are holding the Office of the U.S. Congress, the Office of
Vice-President of The United States of America, and as Judicial Officers of the Courts
do so without authority of the Constitution for The United States of America and thus,
they are all “Usurpers” that need to be removed from Office. When these Women
and Negroes hold the “Public Offices of Trust” of the U.S. Government, they have
destroyed the Republic that binds the people to the Laws of the U.S. Congress and to
the Rulings and Opinions of the Courts:

a “living document” (see “https://tinyurl.com/3ej7p2ts”). What the words of

Posterity
The phrase “our Posterity” has been defined by the “founding fathers” to be
the future generation of “We the People” that consist of free white [male] persons:
Page 9 of 101
Naturalization Act of 1802 [“2 Stat. 153”]
This understanding of “We the People” and “Posterity” existed until U.S. Senate
Judiciary Chairman, Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, introduced a “Bill” mandating that
"…. all persons born in the United States," with the exception of American Indians,
were "hereby declared to be citizens of the United States."
The legislation granted all “Negroes” the “full and equal benefit of all laws
and proceedings for the security of person and property as enjoyed
by white citizens, …”. (Enacted as the “Civil Rights Act” of 1866 [“14 Stat. 27-30”].
Reenacted as the “Enforcement Act” of 1870 [“16 Stat. 140”]).
The U.S. Congress of 1866 and 1870 had a fear that these two Enactments of Law
would be “struck down” by the U.S. Supreme Court for exceeding the authority of
the Constitution for The United States of America (especially as the Court had recently
ruled that the Negro population had no authority of the Constitution to be
a member citizen of The United States of America [see Dred Scott v. Sandford,
60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857)] (supra.)). To resolve the problem, the U.S. Congress
of 1866 proposed the Fourteenth Amendment and the U.S. Congress of 1869 proposed
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution for The United States of America.
These two enactment of Laws (“Civil Rights Act” of 1866, /7 “Enforcement Act”
of 1870 /8) and the Constitutional Amendments of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth,
[and Nineteenth] exceeds the authority of the U.S. Congress for there are no Members
within that Political Body of the U.S. Congress nor of the Legislatures of the states that
have been given authority by the people to alter or amend the “Posterity” clause of
the Preamble to the Constitution for The United States of America

with “Constitutional Amendments” or with “Statutes at Large.” This authority to alter
or amend the “Posterity” clause may only be obtained from the “people” upon
the convening of an Amendment Convention of the states as provided for by Article V of
the Constitution for The United States of America (Supra).
The Courts have read the Preamble as bearing witness to the fact that the Constitution
emanated from the “people” and was not the act of sovereign and independent states.

Thirteenth Amendment
Introduction
The Thirteenth (13th) Amendment to the Constitution for The United States of America
is one (1) of three (3) Amendments that were purportedly ratified by the Legislatures
of three-fourths (¾th) of the states /14 and made a part of the Constitution during
the aftermath of the conclusion of the American Civil War on April 9, 1865.

The Thirteenth (13th) Amendment was proposed on January 31, 1865 and
purportedly ratified on December 6, 1865. If it wasn’t for the U.S. Congress of
the northern states declaring that several southern states had no lawful governments
leaving those states without authority to participate in the “Debates” on
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment and the Fifteenth (15th) Amendment, there would be
no objection to the ratification of the Thirteenth (13th) Amendment.
Statement of Facts
If it was not for the history of the Fourteenth (14th) and Fifteenth (15th) Amendments
showing the southern (‘Rebel’) states as having no lawful governments of a state and
showing that those Amendments to have been ratified by “Military Districts” of
the U.S. Congress under the “Reconstruction Acts” of 1867-68, /15 there would be
no objections to the ratification of the Thirteenth (13th) Amendment. But as stated
within the “Reconstruction Acts” of 1867-68, there were no lawful votes as cast by
the southern states for the ratification of the Thirteenth (13th) Amendment for those
states had no lawful governments of a state (so says the northern states sitting as
the U.S. Congress). As a matter of law of Article V of the Constitution
for The United States of America (supra.), there is a preponderance of evidence
showing the Thirteenth (13th) Amendment failed ratification as the U.S. Congress
allowed those who were not Legislators of a state to cast votes of ratification and then
accepting those votes as legitimate votes as cast by the states of the Union.

Conclusion
For the procedural defects as identified within the “Reconstruction Acts” of 1867-68,
the Thirteenth (13th) Amendment is not an Amendment to the Constitution
for The United States of America and as such, it needs to be purged from
all Constitutions of the states, and the Constitution for The United States of America.
It needs to be purged from all Law Books of the states, and it needs to be purged from
the Statutes at Large. It needs to be purged from all Court Records, and it needs to
be purged from all Text Books.
Fourteenth Amendment
Introduction
If the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment didn’t exist, would “Women,” “Africans,” or any
others whom are not “White Caucasian Males,” have “Political Rights” to hold
Page 13 of 101
“Public Offices of Trust” of The United States of America? For the most part,
the answer is “NO.”
In regard to the African; this question was answered by the U.S. Supreme Court within
the case of Dred Scott v. Sanford, 19 How, 404, 15 L.Ed. 69 /16 wherein the Court
declared (with reasoning of law) that an African is not a “Citizen” of the United States
(natural born or otherwise). As unpopular as this case may be, it is as valid today as
the day it was written.
We also see that Section Two of the present day Fourteenth (14th) Amendment
declares that only “Male citizens” may cast votes. Bradwell v. State of Illinois,
83 U.S. 130 (1873), /17 was a “United States Supreme Court” case that solidified
the narrow reading of the “Privileges” or “Immunities Clause” of
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment, and determined that the “right to practice
a profession” was not among these “Privileges.” This case is also notable
for being an early Fourteenth Amendment challenge to “sex discrimination” in
the “United States.” In this case, the United States Supreme Court held that
the “State of Illinois” constitutionally denied “law licenses” to “Women” because
the right to “practice law” was not one of the “privileges” and “immunities” guaranteed
by the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment. The Illinois-Supreme Court affirmed the ruling.
It took three (3) “Amendments” to the “Constitution” for The United States of America
to grant “Woman” and “Africans” a limited privilege of “Suffrage” to cast “votes.”
Please keep in mind that the Seventeenth (17th) Amendment,
the Nineteenth (19th) Amendment, and the Twenty-Fourth (24th) Amendment
addresses only those who are “citizens” as created by
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment. Without the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment,
those three (3) Constitutional Amendments (“17th,” “19th,” and “24th”) would
Page 14 of 101
be “null and void” for there would be no “citizens” in existence to “convey”
the “Political Rights” to “vote” (or to hold “Public Offices of Trust”).
Statement of Facts
The following states of the Union have gone on record to declare that
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment has not been “proposed” nor “ratified” as mandated
by Article V of the Constitution for The United States of America. The “Resolutions” of
the following named states of the Union is an “Official (Judicial) Notice”
upon all Agencies and Branches of the Governments (Federal & states) that
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment is not an “Amendment” to the Constitution
for The United States of America.
Here are the facts that proclaims the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment to be existing
in “fraud” and is an “usurpation of powers” of the states and of the people as reserved
under Article X of the Bill of Rights to the Constitution for The United States of America:

its “people” (e.g. Africans) via “force of arms” for the purpose of “compelling”
those “people” to be its “citizens” without their “consent”; and
The ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Hollingsworth v. Virginia,
3 U.S. 378 is merely “dicta” /21 opinions of the Justices. The Justices of
the U.S. Supreme Court have no authority of the Constitution to “alter”
or “amend” the “wording” of any Clause of the U.S. Constitution with
their “personal views,” or “personal opinions.” In declaring that
“Joint Resolutions” proposing “Constitutional Amendments” do not have to
be presented to the President for his “Approbation” is not binding and was made
without authority of the people or of the states sitting in a Convention.
[Emphasis added].
21/ Dicta - “Opinions of a judge that do not embody the resolution or determination of the specific case
before the court. Expressions in a court's opinion that go beyond the facts before the court and
therefore are individual views of the author of the opinion and not binding in subsequent cases as
legal precedent.”
22/ With the use of the phrase “Every … resolution,” which appears within “Article I, Clause 3, Section 7”
of the “Constitution” for “The United States of America” said “Clause 3” includes “Joint Resolutions”
proposing “Constitutional Amendments.”

3. A Joint Resolution proposing a Constitutional Amendment may contain
no more than one subject matter. This was not done with

and elucidate and explain what is meant by propositions which relate to more
than one subject and have at least two distinct and separate purposes
not dependent upon or connected with each other.
Page 18 of 101
The U.S. Congress submitted to the Legislature of the states the following
matters to be voted upon as if they were one subject of an Amendment to
the Constitution:
b. “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the United States.”
c. “Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law,”
d. “Nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection
of the laws.”
f. “But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors
for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives
in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members
Page 19 of 101
of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants
of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of
the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation
in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of Representation therein shall
be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall
bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age
in such state.”
h. “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law,
including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services
in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt
or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against
the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave;
but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”
4. The [defacto] U.S. Congress may not compel any state to rescind
its negative ratification vote as cast on a proposed Constitutional Amendment
as was done with the “negative votes” of the southern states as cast on
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment; and
Page 20 of 101
5. The [defacto] U.S. Congress has no authority to compel any state to surrender
its statehood status and be expelled from the Congress as was done with
the southern states [to obtain a forced fraudulent vote of ratification on
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment]. What the southern states was not able
to accomplish with a Civil War, the Congress of the northern states was able to
do in obtaining a forced ratification of a Constitutional Amendment. All the states
entered into a Confederation of the Union of November 15, 1778, and thereafter,
with the understanding that the Union shall be perpetual (see wording
of Preamble /41 and Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation /42 as adopted
on March 1, 1781) [see also Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1868) ]; and
8. The [defacto] U.S. Congress was without authority to authorize any Legislature
of a state to reverse its vote of rejection as cast upon
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment (see Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 433,
488-50 (1939) /44); and

forth “Orders” upon an Officer of the Executive Branch of
the Federal Government to proclaim the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment to have
been ratified via “Proclamation.”
The investigation of the “U.S. House Committee on the (January 6, 2021) attack upon
the United States Capitol” is an attempt to hold former “President, Donald J. Trump”
criminally liable to the non-existent crime of “Insurrection.” This investigation
is unconstitutional, null and void.
Summary
Page 22 of 101
If we're going to talk about “insurrection,” we had better define it first.
“A rising against civil or political authority; the open and active opposition of
a number of persons to the execution of a law in a city or state. It is equivalent
to sedition, except that sedition expresses a less extensive rising of citizens.
It differs from rebellion, for the latter expresses a revolt, or an attempt
to overthrow the government, to establish a different one or to place the country
under another jurisdiction. It differs from mutiny, as it respects the civil
or political government; whereas a mutiny is an open opposition to law in
the army or navy. Insurrection is however used with such latitude as
to comprehend either sedition or rebellion.” [Emphasis added]
It seems only logical that the “Insurrection Act, 18 U.S. Code § 2383” must deal with
a substantial uprising against either the civil or political authority. In other words,
not just a few people, because that would be a riot. Also, it cannot be a rebellion
unless there is an attempt to replace the government. Keep these facts in mind as they
will become important later.
The “Insurrection Act” is found in “Title 10, §§ 251-255” of the “United States Code.”
“Sections 254” and “255” are more administrative aspects of the law.
10 USC § 254
With the words “considers it necessary,” the “Section 254” is made as a grant
of “discretional authority” that may be taken by the President. It is not a grant
of authority made to any “member” of the “U.S. Congress” or to the “Federal Judiciary.”
Page 23 of 101
This “Section 254” declares the “discretionary action” that may be taken,
which is “limited” to the “ordering” of the “insurgents” to “disperse” and go “home.”
There are no “provisions” within this law that authorizes the “President” to issue
forth “proclamations” upon “insurgents” in absence of the calling forth of the “militia” or
the “armed forces.” There are no “provisions” made within this law that allows
the “President” to call forth the “Capital Police” to put down “domestic violence” (“riots”)
that was made upon the “Capital Building” (as inferred by several members of
the “U.S. House Committee on the attack of the United States Capitol”).
“For purposes of this chapter, the term State includes Guam and
the Virgin Islands.”
10 USC §255
The “Section 255” includes the territories “Guam” and the “Virgin Islands” when referring
to the “states” in this law. Now let's get into the meat of the “Act.”
10 USC §251
Page 24 of 101
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican
Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;
and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature
cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
The “Article IV, Section 4” also requires that the “United States” protects each of
the “states” against “invasion” and “domestic violence” only when the “state” asks for it.
Generally, it would be the “state's legislature” who applies to the “United States”
for assistance. If the “legislature” cannot be convened, then the “state's governor”
can apply. Although there were many calling for the “President” to send in the “militia”
to the “states” during the “riots,” no “state legislature” requested the “United States”
do so. Therefore, the “President” did not have legal authority to exercise the provisions
of “10 USC 251.”
Page 25 of 101
the case. Since the “Constitution” does not delegate this “power” to the “United States,”
nor does it prohibit it to the “states,” this “power” remains with the “states.”
[Emphasis added].
So when “Congress” wrote and passed “§251” and then “President Eisenhower”
signed it, they violated the “Constitution.” More about this later.
10 USC §252
There were times during the “riots” that the “President” sent in “federal law enforcement”
to protect “federal buildings.” If the “President” deemed it necessary, he could have
used the “militia” and the “armed forces” to protect those “properties,” and enforce
“federal law” under “§252.” Some may be arguing that this would be a violation of
the “Posse Comitatus Act.”
Page 26 of 101
the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall
be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
[Emphasis added].
If the “President” had used the “militia” or the “armed forces” to enforce the “laws” of
the “United States” and if it was done under the “Insurrection Act” of “10 USC §252,” it is
that “Act” of “Congress” that makes the use of the “Army” or the “Air Force” lawful.
“The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any
other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress,
in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination,
or conspiracy, if it
“(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States
or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
“In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have
denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.”
[Emphasis added].
10 USC §253
Page 27 of 101
As we've already seen, the “Constitution” only authorizes the “United States” to protect
the “states” against “invasion” or “domestic violence” when asked by the “state.”
And since the “President” is tasked with enforcing the “laws” of the “United States,”
we recognize that “Congress” can legally established as to when the “President” may
use the “militia” and “armed forces” when requested to do so. We've also
seen “Congress” illegally expand the “powers” of the “United States” to protect
the “states” against “insurrection” in “§251.” Whereas in “§251” the “President” had
the “power” to assist “states” only if they asked for it, now the “Congress” wants him to
be able to send in “armed forces,” based solely upon him deeming it necessary.
This not only exceeds the “powers” delegated to the “United States” by
the “Constitution,” but this law tramples upon the duty of the “United States” to insure
that each “state” has a “republican form” of “government” [see “Article IV, Section 4” of
the “Constitution for The United States of America.”]. How can the "sovereign power” of
a “state” be lodged in “representatives” which the “people” have elected if
an "outside entity" of the “President” of the “United States” has authority to step in
and overrule them?
That's not all. Notice that “Clause 1” in “§253” claims to give the “President”
the authority to step in, not only if “federal laws” cannot be enforced, but “states laws”
as well (if those “laws” protect “rights” as named in the “Constitution”). It is one thing to
use the “armed forces” of the “United States” to enforce “federal laws,”
(including the “Constitution”), but to authorize the “President” to unilaterally “invade”
a “state” against their will is another thing altogether. Even if the “pretext” is that
“state laws” to protect constitutionally “protected rights” are not being enforced, there is
no language in the “Constitution” that delegates that type of “power” to
the “United States.”
Page 28 of 101
Conclusion
You may have noticed that a distinction has been made between “insurrection”
and “domestic violence.” The reason is not only simple, but extremely important if we're
to remain a “free republic” of “states.” Let us view “Article I, Section 1” of
the “Constitution” for the “State of Tennessee”:
“That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded
on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness;
for the advancement of those ends they have at all times, an unalienable
[Inalienable] and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government
in such manner as they may think proper.” [Emphasis added].
While not every “state” includes similar language in their “Constitutions,” most of
them do. They state that “all power is inherent in the people,” not in the “Officials”
of their “state” governments, and certainly not in the government of
the “United States.” They also declare that it is “the right of the people to alter or
abolish their government and replace it with another.” The “people” have
an “inalienable right” to rise up against their “civil” or “political” authority to “abolish
their government” and to “establish a new one” as they see fit. In other words,
the “Constitutions” of most of our “states” protects the “right” to
a peaceful “insurrection.” This is an “inalienable right” our “Founding Fathers” not only
recognized, but exercised when they declared their independence from “Great Britain.”
Declaration of Independence
Page 29 of 101
Sadly, this is a “right” our “Officials” in “Washington, D.C.” have forgotten. I applaud
any “law” that protects the “rights” of the “people,” but not at the expense of our
other “rights,” or our “right” to live in “free” and “sovereign states.”
Even worse is what would happen should the “President” ever enact “§253” of
the “Insurrection Act.” This would in effect be an act of “civil war” against the “states,”
a breaking of the “Compact” that is the “Constitution.” It would be the final act
of the “destruction” of the “Republic.” The question is, “will the people keep their
elected Officials in check to prevent such an action or not?” Will we fight the “war”
against “tyranny” while we can still do it peacefully? Or are we going to wait until
the “fight” must be done with “arms” on the “battlefield”?
The “Perpetual Union Clause” of “Article XIII” of the November 15, 1778
“Articles of Confederation” declaring that the “Union” of “states” is to be “Perpetual” and
the “states” shall abide to the “determination” of the “United States” in “Congress,”
converts the exercise of an “inalienable right” of “insurrection” into a “crime,” the right
to succeed from a “Union” of “states” (“United States”) that exercise abusive powers or
no longer represents the people.
Page 30 of 101
and the “Insurrections Clauses” as found within “Article I, Section 8, Clause 15” of
the “Constitution” for “The United States of America” and “Section 3” of
the “Fourteenth Amendment,” are “repugnant” to the “Inalienable Rights Clauses” as
found within the year 1774 “Declaration of Rights,” and within the July 4th, 1776
“Declaration of Independence.” Such “Perpetual Union Clauses” binds the people
to “governments” that may support “trespasses” upon nature’s “God”
given “Inalienable Rights” of “Life,” “Liberty,” and their “Pursuit of Happiness.”
The “English Philosopher, John Locke,” wrote in his “Two Treatises of Government” that
all people have natural rights.
The “Despotic Political Parties,” as we have today in the “Democrat Political Party,”
converts the exercise of “Inalienable Rights,” (as protected by “Republican Form
46/ see “Slave Law in Colonial Virginia: A Timeline - SHSU”
Page 31 of 101
of Governments”) into “crimes” of “Sedition” or “Insurrection” especially as having
the “Tally Counts” and the casting of legitimate “Election Ballots” being invaded.
The wording of the October 14th, 1774 “Declaration of Rights,” and the wording of
the “Declaration of Independence” of July 4th, 1776 proclaims that
the “Perpetual Union Clauses,” and their “Sedition / Insurrection Laws,”
to be “unconstitutional” null and void ab initio. Our “Inalienable Rights” may not
be “surrendered,” “given away,” nor “contracted away,” /47 for they are the “property”
of our “Creator,” the “I Am That I Am.” /48
Political Question

the surface of any case held to involve a “Political Question,” which include:

a kind clearly for non-judicial discretion; or
The members of the U.S. Congress have been delegated only one power
and duty in amending our nation’s Constitution. That power is with
the U.S. Congress in proposing Constitutional Amendments and the duty is for
the U.S. Congress to set forth the procedure for ratification of
those proposed Amendments. The procedure to be used is that the Amendment
50/ “https://tinyurl.com/3pkdc6ur”
Page 33 of 101
shall be ratified either by the Legislatures of three fourths (¾th) of
the several states, or in the alternative, by Conventions in three fourths (¾th)
thereof. Nowhere may it be found within the Constitution for The United States
of America that the members of the U.S. Congress have been given authority
to determine the qualifications of the states and the legitimacy of the votes of
those states as may have been casted for “Rejection” or casted for “Ratification.”
As it is the original “thirteen (13) states” of 1781 /51 that have “reserved”
their “powers” to “alter” or make “changes” to the Constitution
for The United States of America as expressed under Article X of
the Bill of Rights and under Article V of the Constitution for The United States
of America; it is the “states” of the “Union” that have the “reserved authority” to
the “committed determination of the issue” to review and rule upon the legitimacy
of “ratification” of Constitutional Amendments.
The “Legislatures” of the states have spoken and they have declared that
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment was never “proposed” nor “ratified”
in accordance with Article V of the Constitution for The United States of America:

of the United States Constitution because eleven states of the Union
were deprived of their equal suffrage in the Senate in violation of Article V,
when eleven southern states, including Louisiana, were excluded
from deliberation and decision in the adoption of the Joint Resolution
proposing said 14th Amendment; said Resolution was not presented
to the President of the United States in order that the same should
take effect, as required by Article I, Section 7; the proposed Amendment
was not ratified by three fourths of the states, but to the contrary,
fifteen states of the then thirty seven states of the Union rejected
the proposed 14th Amendment between the dates of its submission
to the states by the Secretary of State on June 16, 1866,
and March 24, 1868, thereby nullifying said Resolution and making
it impossible for ratification by the constitutionally required three fourths
of such states; said southern which were denied their equal suffrage
in the Senate had been recognized by proclamations of the President
of the United States to have duly constituted governments with all
the powers which belong to free states of the Union, and the Legislatures
of seven of said southern states had ratified the 13th Amendment which
would have failed of ratification but for the ratification of said
seven southern states; and, [Emphasis added],

the ground that the qualifications of the members elected did not
conform to the fourth paragraph, second section, first Article of
the Constitution, but because their right of Representation was denied
by a portion of the States having equal but not greater rights
than themselves. They have in fact been forcibly excluded;
and, inasmuch as all legislative power granted by the States to
the Congress is defined, and this power of exclusion is not among
the powers expressly or by implication, the assemblage, at the capitol,
of Representatives from a portion of the States, to the exclusion of
the Representatives of another portion, cannot be a constitutional
Congress, when the Representation of each State forms an integral
part of the whole. [Emphases added].

the Constitution. In consequence of this, these States had no voice on

Chief Justice “Hughes” saw only what he wanted to see. If he took the time
to read all the “Statutes at Large” which were involved in the ratification of
the “Fourteenth Amendment,” he would have discovered within the wording
of “Sec. 6” of “THIRTY-NINTH CONGRESS, Sess. II, Ch. 153”
that the “ratification votes,” as cast upon the “Amendment,”
were cast by “Provisional Governments” of “Military Districts” before
those “Provisional Governments” were admitted into the “Union” as “states”
by law of the “U.S. Congress”:
“Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That, until the people of said rebel
States shall be by law admitted to representation in the Congress
of the United States, any civil governments which may exist therein shall
be deemed provisional only, and in all respects subject to the paramount
authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control,

Emancipation Proclamation
It was the “Plan” /94 of President Lincoln to offer the Africans a choice at
the conclusion of the Civil War to either become “citizens” of the “United States,”
Page 49 of 101
or in the alternative, be transported back to their Homeland (e.g. “Republic
of Liberia” /95) at the expense of the United States. Of course this did not happen.
Do you not understand the views of the Africans of today! They look back
to the Civil War and see that at no time were their “Ancestors” ever under
the jurisdiction of the United States. They also know that no Nation may (lawfully)
compel any of their slave “Ancestors” (and their “Descendants”) to become “citizens”
of its Nation against their will. (see “Expatriate Acts” of 1868 as found
on the “Internet” at “https://tinyurl.com/y2vf4vq3”).
The solution is to execute the “Plan” /96 of former President, Abraham Lincoln,
and set forth a number of days for every African to come forward and make
a choice of accepting an “Oath of Allegiance” /97 (as given to “Candidates”

were denied their seats in the House and the Senate of the U.S. Congress.

Conclusion
Please take notice that each and every state of the south had created a “Constitution”
for their state as required for “admission” into the Union. Every one of those states did
create a “Republican Form of Government” as per requirement of Article IV, Section 4,
Clause 1 of the Constitution for The United States of America. Those states of
the south did operate under their own “Constitutions” before, during, and with one state,
after the Civil War. This raises the question:
“Why did the Congress of the northern states declare that a number
of southern states had “no lawful governments” while another was allowed
to keep its original Constitution and government?
Answer: The southern state that was allowed to keep its Constitution
and government was the “State of Tennessee,” a state which cast
its “vote of ratification” on the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment; while those states
that cast their “votes of rejection” were placed under “Martial Law” and declared
to have “unlawful governments.”
“The U.S. Congress of the year 1868 has taken the position that it has been
empowered to not only propose Constitutional Amendments, but it also has
been empowered to compel ratification of those Constitutional Amendments.”
The issue is not the repeal of an Amendment, for the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment
[and other Amendments (infra.)] is not an Amendment to the Constitution
for The United States of America. The issue is the “purging” of
all non-existent Amendments, (such as the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment) from
the Constitutions of the states and of The United States of America. The “purging”
of non - existent Constitutional Amendments from all Court Opinions,
from all Statutes at Large, from all Law Books of the states, and from all Text Books.
Page 55 of 101
You can only “repeal” legitimate Amendments (such as was done with
the Eighteenth (18th) Amendment with the use of the Twenty-First (21st) Amendment).
You cannot perform “impossibilities” by repealing something that does not exist,
such as fraudulent Constitutional Amendments.

Fifteenth Amendment
Introduction
Statement of Facts
State of Oregon
“Whereas the State of Oregon was, on the 14 th day of February, A.D. 1859,
admitted into the Federal Union vested with the right to declare
what persons should be entitled to vote within her boundaries;
and until she, by her voluntary act, surrenders that right, the Congress of
the United States has no authority to interfere with the conditions
of suffrage within the boundaries of the State of Oregon; and whereas
the Congress of the United States, by means of an arbitrary majority
of votes acquired by the power of the bayonet, has sought to force upon
the several States the so-called Fifteenth (15th) Amendment to
the Federal Constitution, in direct violation of the terms under which
the State of Oregon was admitted into the sisterhood of States:
Therefore,
Page 57 of 101
“Be it resolved by the senate, (the house concurring,) that the so-called
Fifteenth (15th) Amendment is an infringement upon the popular rights,
and a direct falsification of the pledges made to the State of Oregon by
the Federal Government.
“Resolved, That the said Fifteenth (15th) Amendment be, and the same
is hereby, rejected. …” [Emphasis added].
2. We must not overlook the fact that that Philander C. Knox (infra. /120) held
no lawful “Office” of the government of The United States of America for there
was no-one that had the “Office Qualifications” to appoint Philander C. Knox
into the “Office” of “U.S. Secretary of State.” At the time that
the Fifteenth (15th) Amendment was purportedly ratified, there was no-one
in “Office” that had authority to issue forth “Proclamations of Ratifications”
(including Philander C. Knox) leaving the Fifteenth (15th) Amendment without
authority to be an “Amendment” to the Constitution for The United States
of America.

Conclusion
For the reasons stated herein, the Fifteenth (15th) Amendment is not an “Amendment”
to the Constitution for The United States of America. The Fifteenth (15th) Amendment
is to be “purged” from all “Constitutions,” all “Statutes at Large,” from all “Court
Rulings,” from all “Law Books” of the “states,” and from all other “Publications.”
Sixteenth Amendment

You may view those “defects” within a “Federal Court Document” entitled:
“DEFENDANT’S ‘THE LAW THAT NEVER WAS’ BRIEF” as presented
in the “U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern District”

Page 59 of 101
The “U.S. Congress” had previously introduced an “Income Tax” during the “Civil War”
of 1861-65, but this “Tax” had been “repealed” in 1872. In 1894, the U.S. Congress
passed the “Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act,” /122 which lowered “Tariff Rates” and made up
for some of the lost revenue by introducing “Taxes” on “Income,” “Corporate Profits,”
“Gifts,” and “Inheritances.” Chief Justice Melville Fuller's majority opinion
in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Company /123 held that a “Federal Tax”
on “Income” derived from “property” was “unconstitutional” when it was not apportioned
among the states according to representation in the United States House
of Representatives. /124 Justice Fuller also held that “Federal Taxation” on “Interest”
earned on certain “State Bonds” violated the doctrine of “Intergovernmental
Tax Immunity.” /125 With the purported “ratification” of Sixteenth (16th) Amendment,
the case of Pollock was mooted.
Statement of Facts
There is a major problem with the Sixteenth (16th) Amendment which has never
been addressed – the Amendment was never “approved” by “ratification” of the “people”
sitting in “Convention” of the “states.”
The purported Sixteenth (16th) Amendment is a “fraud” for it is being used to move
the “property” of the “people” into the hands of the Papacy of the Catholic Church
122/ The “Revenue Act” or “Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act” of 1894 (“ch. 349, §73,” “28 Stat. 509-570,”
August 27, 1894).
123/ Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, 157 U.S. 429 (1895),
affirmed on rehearing, 158 U.S. 601 (1895).
124/ See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sect. 9, Cl. 4: “No capitation or other direct, tax shall be laid,
Unless in proportion to the censes or enumeration hereinafter directed to be taken.”

(“Vatican City State”) /126 via a “Private Bank” known as the “Federal Reserve Bank.” /127
The “Board of Governors” for the “Federal Reserve Bank” (and the “political elite”
of “Washington, D.C.”) have presented us with a view that the “Federal Reserve Bank”
is an “internal agency” of the “government” of The United States of America
which is totally false:
1. The Constitution for The United States of America at Article V provides for
the “procedure” to be used to “alter” or “amend” that Constitution. This Article V
states in part:
“…. shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution,
when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States,
or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or
the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; ….”

2. Now the question arises: “Why did the Founding Fathers provide that
the ratification of Constitution Amendments may be done by Conventions”?
[Emphasis added]
“…. nor shall private property be taken for public use without
just compensation.” [Emphasis added].
3. The “money” of the “people” is just one of those instances, for “money” (in the
hands of the “people”) is “private property.” No “Legislator” of any of the states
of the Union has ever been granted the “powers” to levy a “tax” upon
the “people” without authority of a Constitution as ratified in “Convention” of
the “people” of their “state,” so it is with the “members” of the “U.S. Congress.”
It is true that the Constitution for The United States of America was ratified by
the “people” sitting in “Convention” of the “states” (see “U.S. Constitution,
Article VII”):
Page 62 of 101
“Done in convention by unanimous consent of the states present
the seventeenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand
seven hundred and eighty - seven and of the Independence
of The United States of America the twelfth. …; and …”
[Emphasis added].
It is also true that the Constitution for The United States o America
has provisions to provide for the “taxation” of the “people” and it does set forth
the “procedures” for levying that “tax”:
“No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.”
[Emphasis added].
Page 63 of 101
to be “purged” from all “Constitutions,” from all “Law Books,” from
all “Court Records,” and from all “Text Books.”
5. As the Sixteenth (16th) Amendment to the Constitution for The United States
of America does not have a “lawful” (“dejure”) existence, the “Internal Revenue
Code” (as codified in “Statutes at Large” /128 and “Title 26,
United States Code” /129) has problems as many of its “Sections”
are “repugnant” to U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 4. The “taxes”
on “Income” are being “assessed” as a “direct tax” derived from “property”
without being “apportioned” to the “census” or without “enumeration” as ruled
upon by Chief Justice Melville Fuller /130 in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan
& Trust Company, 157 U.S. 429 (1895) (supra.). The offending “Sections” of
the “Statutes at Large” and within “Title 26, United States Code” needs
to be “purged.”

of the “people” to cast “votes of ratification” on “money confiscation schemes”
with “Constitutional Amendments,” such as with the Sixteenth (16th) Amendment.
As the Sixteenth (16th) Amendment “was not” ratified by the “people” sitting
in “Conventions” of the “states” as mandated by Article V of the Constitution
for The United States of America, it is not an “Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution.
The Sixteenth (16th) Amendment needs to be “purged” from all “Text Books,”
from all “Rulings” of the “Courts,” from the “Statutes at Large,” from all “Law Books”
of the “states,” from all “Constitutions” of the “states,” and from the “Constitution”
of “The United States of America.”
Again, we must not overlook the fact that that Philander C. Knox (infra. /131) held
no lawful “Office” of the government of The United States of America for there was
no-one that had the “Office Qualifications” to appoint Philander C. Knox into the “Office”
of “U.S. Secretary of State.” At the time when the Sixteenth (16th) Amendment was
purportedly “ratified,” there was no-one in “Office” (including Philander C. Knox)
that had “authority” to issue forth “Proclamations of Ratification” leaving
the Sixteenth (16th) Amendment without authority to be an “Amendment” to
the “Constitution” for The United States of America.

Seventeenth Amendment
Introduction
The “Americans” did not directly vote for “Senators” for the first 125 years of
the Federal Government. The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, stated
that “Senators” would be elected by “state Legislators.” /132 The first “proposal” to
amend the Constitution to elect “Senators” by “popular vote” was introduced in
the U.S. House of Representatives in 1826, but the idea did not gain considerable
support until the late “19th Century” when several problems related to Senate elections
had become evident. Several “state Legislatures” deadlocked over the election
of “Senators” which led to Senate vacancies lasting months, and even years. In other
cases, “political machines” gained control over “state Legislatures,” and the “Senators”
elected with their support, were dismissed as “Puppets.” In addition, the Senate was
seen as a “millionaire's club” serving powerful “private interests.” The rise of
the “People's Party,” commonly referred to as the “Populist Party,” added “motivation”
for making the Senate more directly accountable to the “people.”
Page 66 of 101
Statement of Facts
As William Howard Taft was born within a “Territory” (“Ohio”), /133 which
did not have the status of being a state of The United States of America,
he most likely did not have the status of being a “Citizen” of
the “United States,” /134 not to mention not having the required status of
being a “natural born Citizen” for want of the existence of
the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment /135 (a required status of “citizenship” for
the “Office” of “President” of The United States of America.).
As “William Howard Taft” never had the “Office Qualifications” for
the “Office” of “President” for The United States of America,
[President] “Taft” never had any authority to appoint anyone into
a “Cabinet Office” of the “Executive Branch” of government,
including “Philander C. Knox” being appointed into the “Cabinet Office”
of “U.S. Secretary of State.”
134/ Without an enactment of law made under authority of a Constitutional Amendment (as was done for
the “Inhabitants” of the “Territories” of “Alaska” and of “Hawaii” {see “June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title III,
ch. 1, § 304,” “66 Stat. 237”}) (“https://tinyurl.com/yc7npvx6”), those who were born within “Territories”
or “Possession” of the “United States” did not automatically obtain “citizenship” of the “United States.”
They were classified as “Nationals” (see “54 Stat. 1137, Section 101” [“https://tinyurl.com/yd33lvan”]).
135/ The Fourteenth (14th) Amendment was purportedly propose on June 13, 1866 and purportedly ratified
on July 9, 1868. The “Justices” of the U.S. Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark,
169 U.S. 649 (“https://tinyurl.com/ptnayru”) cited the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment to support
its “natural born Citizen” status ruling of [President] “Barack Obama Jr..” That Amendment does not
apply to “William Howard Taft” as the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment did not exist during the “Taft”
tenure as “President” of The United States of America.
Page 67 of 101
The proof to be found that “Ohio” was not a state of the Union during
the years that “Knox” served his term as “U.S. Secretary of State,”
(which was from March 4, 1905 to March 4, 1911) is found in the fact that
the Eighty-Third (83rd) Congress found the need to enact “Public Law 204,
83rd Congress, 1st Session” /136 to admit “Ohio” into the “Union” as
a “state.”
But even then we see that “Section 2” of that “Public Law 204”
(identified as a “Joint Resolution”) has a problem for we find:
“This “Clause One” prohibits the “states” from passing any laws
which apply ex post facto.” [Emphasis added].
136/ See “67 Stat. 407” – “Public Law 204 @ Chapter 337” (see “https://tinyurl.com/y8knhhb8”).
137/ “No bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be past.” (see “U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec 9, Cl. 3”).
[Emphasis added].
Page 68 of 101
Furthermore, no U.S. Congress of today has any authority to speak for
a past U.S. Congress leaving “Public Law 204, 83rd Congress,
1st Session” without “any effect” Ab Initio.
The effective date of “March 1, 1803” is also “null and void” for “Ohio” was
not admitted into the Union by the “Seventh (7th) Session” of
the U.S. Congress [in session from March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1803]
leaving the “date of admission” of “Ohio” into the “Union”
to be “without effect” Ab Initio.
Another problem surfaces under this “Public Law 204.” The “members” of
the U.S. Congress used a “Resolution” to make a “Law” when the intent of
the “Founding Fathers” was for only “Bills” to become “Law.” The use
of “Resolutions” were to be used for expressing an “opinion,”
or to “censure” some “person” or “action,” but were never
to become “Law.”
“The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators shall be
as prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof.”

the “U.S. Senate” on a “close vote” in May of 1911. Over a year later,
the “U.S. House” accepted the change, and the proposed
“Constitutional Amendment” was sent to the states for “ratification.”
On April 8, 1913, three - quarters (¾ths) of the states had “ratified”
the proposed “Amendment” and it was officially included as
the “Seventeenth (17th) Amendment.” This “Amendment” had the net effect
of destroying the “sovereignty” of government of the “states.”
Many “Legislatures” of the states were “out of session” during the time
the “ratification process” as set forth by the U.S. Congress took place, thus they
have been deprived of their “suffrage” in the U.S. House of Congress and
of their “equal suffrage” in the U.S. Senate.
Here is the “Roll Call Vote” of June 12, 1911 on “House Joint Resolution 39”
by “members” of the U.S. Senate: (“https://tinyurl.com/3wnnekwc”).

Conclusion
All “Constitutional Amendments” adopted thereafter are “null and void” for want of
a legitimate (“dejure”) U.S. Congress to propose those “Amendments.” Most notable is
the Nineteenth (19th) Amendment in granting “Women” the “rights to vote” which
the Federal Courts have proclaimed to be the authority for granting “Women”
the “Political Powers” to hold “Public Offices” of the government of The United States
of America. It should be noted that the only location to be found within
the U.S. Constitution where the word “Suffrage” appears, is Article V.
The word “Suffrage” does not appear in the Fifteenth nor the Nineteenth Amendments,
but only the words “to vote,” and notwithstanding the “dictum” /139 opinions of “Judges,”
there are no terms to be found within those “Amendments” that grants “Women”
138/ “Jacob Schiff,” a “Jewish Catholic Jesuit,” infiltrated both the “Republican” and “Democrat”
“Political Parties” between the years of 1870 – 1920, bringing both of those “Political Parties” under
the control of the “Black Pontiff” of the “Catholic Church.”
139/ Dictum - n. Latin for "remark", a comment by a judge in a decision or ruling which is not
required to reach the decision, but may state a related legal principle as the judge understands it.
While it may be cited in legal argument, it does not have the full force of a precedent
(previous court decisions or interpretations) since the comment was not part of the legal basis
for judgment. The standard counter argument is: "it is only dictum (or dicta)."
Page 72 of 101
and “Africans” the “Political Powers” to hold “Public Offices” of The United States
of America.
With the purported ratification of the Seventeenth (17th) Amendment to the Constitution
for The United States of America, there are no longer any lawful (“dejure”) “Senators”
in “Office” that have lawful “authority” to participate in the creation of any “Tribunals” that
are inferior to the “Supreme Court” as authorized by U.S. Constitution, Article I,
Section 8, Clause 9 or to confirm any “Judge” / “Justice” into “Office” as required
by U.S. Constitution, Article II, Clause 2, Section 2 leaving the “people” of our “Nation”
without any means of obtaining a “Redress of Grievances” or a “Resolution of Disputes”
between the states. All “Rulings” of the “U.S. Supreme Court,” and its “inferior Courts,”
by “Judicial Officers” (that were [purportedly] confirmed into “Office” after
the date of April 8, 1913, the date of the purported “ratification” of
the Seventeenth (17th) Amendment), are all “null and void” as a matter of law.
Page 73 of 101
Conclusion
All “members” of the present day “Senate” of The United States of America shall
be “expelled” from “Office” for want of “Office Qualifications.” They shall be replaced
with appointed “Senators” of the “Legislators” of the states as mandated
by U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 3, Clause 1.
Nineteenth Amendment
140/ “https://tinyurl.com/2kexbntr”
141/ “88 U.S. 162 (1874)” superseded by constitutional amendment, “U.S. Const. amend. XIX.” See also
“Amdt. 19.1” Overview of “Nineteenth Amendment,” (“Women’s Voting Rights”). The primary
constitutional basis for the claim in “Minor” was the “Fourteenth Amendment’s” “Privileges”
or “Immunities Clause.” “Minor, 88 U.S. at 165.”
142/ “Minor, 88 U.S. at 175” ("No particular government is designated as republican, neither is the exact
form to be guaranteed, in any manner especially designated.").
Page 74 of 101
Relying on historical practice as dispositive of the matter, the “Court” held that
the “Guarantee Clause” did not require “Women’s Suffrage” because at the time
of ratification, “Women” were excluded from “Suffrage” in nearly all the “states,”
with the “franchise” only bestowed upon “Men” and not upon all of them. /143
Upon the [purported] ratification of the “Fifteenth Amendment,” the “Women” had
an “outcry” when they discovered that the “Amendment” did not include “Women” in
the grant of “voting.” A demand was placed upon the “U.S. Congress” to correct
the oversight with another “Amendment,” the “Nineteenth Amendment”:
“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” [Emphasis added]
Like the “Fifteenth Amendment,” this “Nineteenth Amendment” does not include
the word “Suffrage” and no inference may be made that these two “Amendments”
includes holding “Public Offices of Trust” in the absence of the word “Suffrage” in
the “Amendments.” No “Judge,” nor any other “Officer” of the “government” of
the “United States,” have any authority to enlarge these two “Amendments” to include
the holding of “Public Offices of Trust” of the “government.” All “Women,” (and those
whom are not white “Caucasian” male “Citizens”) whom were “elected” or “appointed”
into a “Public Office of Trust” of the “Executive” or “Congressional” branch of
the “government” of “The United States of America,” are all “USURPERS”
of “government” and they need to be removed from those “Offices.”
143/ Id. Continuing in this vein, the “Supreme Court” reasoned that the “Guarantee Clause” could not
secure “Women” the “right to vote” because "[n]o new “state” has ever been admitted to the “Union”
which has conferred the “right of suffrage” upon “Women,” and this has never been considered
a valid objection to her admission” and "the “right of suffrage” was withdrawn from “Women” as early
as 1807 in the “state of New Jersey,” without any attempt to obtain the interference of
the “United States” to prevent it." Id. at 177-78.

Miscellaneous
( 48 Stat. 1064 )
Please take “Judicial Notice” that the above “Law” of “48 Stat. 1064, Ch. 651” speaks
of all “lower case lettered” “[d]istrict [c]ourts” denoting that they are “Article I”
“Legislative Tribunals,” not the Judicial “[D]istrict [C]ourts” of “Article III”
of the “Constitution” for “The United States of America.”
Page 76 of 101
U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2
“The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under
this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which
shall be made, under their Authority; — to all Cases affecting Ambassadors,
other public Ministers and Consuls; — to all Cases of admiralty
and maritime Jurisdiction; — to Controversies to which the United States shall
be a Party; — to Controversies between two or more States; — between a
State and Citizens of another State, — between Citizens of different States, —
between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants
of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof,
and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, . . . .”
[Emphasis added].
What is at issue is the authority of the “U.S. Congress” to establish a new body of “Law”
that is foreign to the “states” [“States”] of the “Union” by combining the “Law”
and “Equity” of “Section 2” of “Article III” of the “Constitution” for “The United States
of America” into one (1) form of “Law” to be called “Civil Action” [see “Rule 2” of
the “Federal Rules of Civil Procedure”] with the “Justices” of the “U.S. Supreme Court”
applying that “Rule” to the “Article III” “U.S. [D]istict [C]ourts.” It appears that
the “U.S. Congress” of 1934 is relying upon “Article III, Section 2, Clause 2” of
the “U.S. Constitution” as its authority to combine the “Law” and “Equity” clauses of
the “Constitution” into “Civil Law”:
“…. The Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact,
with such exceptions, and under regulations as the Congress shall make.”
[Emphasis added].
Please take notice that the word “Equity” does not appear in “Article III, Section 2,
Clause 2” of the “U.S. Constitution.” This “Clause 2” provision addresses
only “Appeals,” not original “Actions” in “Law” or “Equity.”
Page 77 of 101
There would be no objection to the enactment of “48 Stat. 1064, Ch. 651”
if that “Statute” was limited to the “Legislative Tribunals” of “Article I, Section 8,
Clause 9” of the “Constitution” for “The United States of America” as
the “U.S. Congress” has been granted full “jurisdiction” over such “Tribunals” [“courts”]
(see “Article I, Section 8, Clause 9” - “The Congress shall have Power . . .”).
Please take “Judicial Notice” that the case of “Mookini et al. v. United States,
303 U.S. 201, 58 S.Ct. 543, 82 L.Ed. 748 (1938)” has declared:
“. . . . the term "District Courts of the United States" means constitutional Courts
created under Art. III of the Constitution; it does not embrace legislative courts
such as the district court for the Territory of Hawaii. Pg. 303 U. S. 205.”
The “Judicial Power” of “Article II, Section 2, Clause 1” “Courts” does not apply
to the “Legislative Power” of “Article I, Section 8, Clause 9” for the “U.S. Congress”
to create “Legislative Tribunals” for “Territories” and “Possessions” of
the “United States.” “Legislative Tribunals” (with all lower case lettering)
are not “Judicial Courts.”
But this is not true today, for the “Courts” of “Article III, Section 1, Clause 1”
also exercises the “Civil Law” of “48 Stat. 1064, Ch. 651” and other “Statutes,”
not the body of “Law” and “Equity” as established by “Article III, Section 2, Clause 1”
of the “Constitution” for “The United States of America.” Without authority of
a “Constitutional Amendment,” the “U.S. Congress” and the “Justices”
of the “U.S. Supreme Court” have abolished the long time procedural standing of “Law”
and “Equity” of “Article III” with the enactment of “48 Stat. 1064, Ch. 651” leaving
all “Civil Action” cases of the “U.S. District Courts” of the fifty (50) “states” [“States”] of
the “Union” to be “Null and Void” Ab Initio.
Furthermore, with the enactment of “48 Stat. 1064, Ch. 651,” the “U.S. Congress” and
the “Justices” of the “U.S. Supreme Court” have now taken the liberty to charge “Fees”
Page 78 of 101
(e.g. “Court Filing Fees”) for the “rights” of the “people” to “Petition their Government for
a Redress of Grievance” in the “U.S. District Courts” /144 in violation of “Article I” of
the “Bill of Rights” to the “Constitution” for “The United States of America.”
The “U.S. Congress” has no authority to compel “monetary payments” from the “people”
to exercise their “rights” as established by the “Constitution” for “The United States

The “Chief Justice Marshall” ruled In the infamous case of “Marbury v. Madison,
17 U.S. 316” (1819), /145 that the government of The United States of America was
granted authority by the U.S. Constitution to issue forth “Charters of Incorporations.”
With respect to be given, “Chief Justice Marshall” does error.
This case of “Marbury v. Madison” was brought to the “Court” challenging the authority
for the “U.S. Congress” to create a “National Bank” through the use
of “Charters of Incorporation.” This case also ruled upon the “immunity” of
the government of The United States of America to have its “Instrumentalities,” such as
its “National Banks,” from being subjected to the “taxation powers” of a state.
In this lengthy “Ruling” of the “Court,” “Chief Justice Marshall” goes to great lengths
to apply the “Necessary and Proper Clause” of Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of
the Constitution for The United States of America as the authority for the creation
of “Corporations,” but failed to apply the “Reports” of the August 18th, 1787
144/ First “filing fee” for the “U.S. District Court” was enacted on June 5, 1948 in the amount of “$15.00”
(see “62 USC 954, Section 1914”). Today, the filing fee is “$350.00” (see “120 USC 183,

The fact that this “Sovereign Power” to create “Charters of Corporations” does not
appear in the present day “U.S. Constitution” is a fact that cannot be viewed to be
an “oversight,” (as suggested by “Chief Justice Marshall”). The “Founding Fathers”
Page 82 of 101
(sitting in a “Constitutional Convention”) were “deliberate” in their “raising,” “debating,”
and the “casting” of “votes of rejection” upon “Delegate Madison’s” “proposal”
to include the “Sovereign Power” to create “Charters of Incorporation” into their
proposed “Constitution” leaving this “Sovereign Power” out of reach
of the “U.S. Congress” to use as a “Law” that shall be “Necessary and Proper”
(for carrying into execution of the foregoing powers) as stated in “Article I, Section 8”
of the “Constitution” for “The United States of America.”
The government of The United States of America had no “Powers” of its own at the time
of its founding. All “Powers” exercised were delegated to The United States of America
when those states were sitting in the “Confederation of States” of 1778 and in
the “Constitutional Convention” of 1787. For the government of The United States
of America to exercise the “Sovereign Power” to create “Charters of Incorporation,”
the “U.S. Congress” is “required” to obtained authority to do so from the states
via a “Constitutional Amendment.” [See “Article X” of the “Bill of Rights” to
the “Constitution” for “The United States of America”]:
Be advised that any “Power” taken under consideration during the creation of
a “Constitution” by a “Constitutional Convention” and being expressly “rejected” by
the “Delegates” of the states sitting in that “Convention,” is a statement that
the “Delegates” of the “Convention” have “reserved” to the states the “Sovereign Power”
Page 83 of 101
to create “Charters of Incorporation” and has “prohibited” its use by the government
of The United States of America.
All “Charters of Incorporation,” (as created by the “Congress” for The United States
of America), were created without a grant of authority by any
of the original “thirteen (13) states” sitting in “Convention” leaving
all those “Charters of Incorporation” to be “null and void” Ab Initio.

The Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction
“Superior:
“My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler:
among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among
your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man. Among the Reformers,
to be a reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot;
among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to
be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from
their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature
our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become
a Jew among Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together
Page 88 of 101
all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.
[Emphases added].
“You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred
between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and incite them
to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create
revolutions and Civil Wars in countries that were independent and prosperous,
cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace.
To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit,
who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which
you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end,
in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies
the means. [Emphasis added].
“You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather all statistics,
facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate yourself
into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and heretics of every
class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer,
among the schools and universities, in parliaments and legislatures,
and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men,
for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death. [Emphasis added].
“I, _ now, in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary,
the blessed Michael the Archangel, the blessed St. John the Baptist,
Page 89 of 101
the holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul and all the saints and sacred hosts
of heaven, and to you, my ghostly father, the Superior General of the Society
of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola in the Pontificate of Paul the Third,
and continued to the present, do by the womb of the virgin, the matrix of God,
and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear, that his holiness the Pope
is Christ's Vice-regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic
or Universal Church throughout the earth; and that by virtue of the keys
of binding and loosing, given to his Holiness by my Savior, Jesus Christ,
he hath power to depose heretical kings, princes, states, commonwealths,
and governments, all being illegal without his sacred confirmation and that they
may safely be destroyed. Therefore, to the utmost of my power I shall and will
defend this doctrine of his Holiness' right and custom against all usurpers
of the heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran
of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the now pretended
authority and churches of England and Scotland, and branches of the same
now established in Ireland and on the Continent of America and elsewhere;
and all adherents in regard that they be usurped and heretical,
opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. I do now renounce and disown
any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince or state named Protestants
or Liberals, or obedience to any of the laws, magistrates, or officers.

“I do further declare that the doctrine of the churches of England and Scotland,
of the Calvinists, Huguenots and others of the name Protestants or Liberals
to be damnable and they themselves damned who will not forsake the same.
“I do further declare, that I will help, assist, and advise all or any
of his Holiness' agents in any place wherever I shall be, in Switzerland,
Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, Ireland, or America,
or in any other Kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my uttermost

(He receives the wafer from the Superior and writes his name with the point
of his dagger dipped in his own blood taken from over his heart.)
“Superior:
“You will now rise to your feet and I will instruct you in the Catechism necessary
to make yourself known to any member of the Society of Jesus belonging
to this rank.
“In the first place, you, as a Brother Jesuit, will with another mutually make
the ordinary sign of the cross as any ordinary Roman Catholic would;
then one cross his wrists, the palms of his hands open, and the other
in answer crosses his feet, one above the other; the first points with forefinger
of the right hand to the center of the palm of the left, the other with
the forefinger of the left hand points to the center of the palm of the right;
the first then with his right hand makes a circle around his head, touching it;
the other then with the forefinger of his left hand touches the left side of
his body just below his heart; the first then with his right hand draws it across
the throat of the other, and the latter then with a dagger down the stomach
and abdomen of the first. The first then says Iustum; and the other
answers Necar; the first Reges. The other answers Impious. (The meaning
of which has already been explained.) The first will then present a small piece
of paper folded in a peculiar manner, four times, which the other will cut
longitudinally and on opening the name Jesu will be found written upon
the head and arms of a cross three times. You will then give and receive
with him the following questions and answers:

“Answer — The Holy faith.
“Answer — The Holy Father at Rome, the Pope, and the Roman Catholic
Church Universal throughout the world.
“Question — How?
“Answer — With a naked dagger, I kneeling upon the cross beneath the banners
of the Pope and of our sacred order.
“Answer — I will.
“Answer — To obey the orders of my general and Superiors and execute the will
of the Pope and faithfully fulfill the conditions of my oaths.

in the name of the Pope. He who will not accept him as the Vicar of Jesus
and his Vice-regent on earth, let him be accursed and exterminated.”

Comment: All “Catholics” (who hold “Public Offices of Trust” of the governments of
the states and of The United States of America) have renounced
their “Oaths of Office” (implied or otherwise) to support the Constitutions
of The United States of America and of the several states of the Union. As they
have renounced all “Oaths of Office,” they have renounced the “Public Office
of Trust” of which they occupy.
President “Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.” (and most of his “Cabinet Members”
and “Military Commanders”) are of the “Catholic Religion” and they have given
their “Allegiance” to the “Pope” and the country of “Vatican City State.”
President “Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.” holds the “religious order” of “Jesuit” and has
given his “Allegiance” to the “Pope” as mandated by his “Oath of the Jesuits.”
Through that “Jesuit Oath,” he has renounced his “Oath of Office” to support
the “Constitution” for “The United States of America.”
The “people,” in and through their “Constitutional Conventions,” did adopt and ratify
the Constitution for The United States of America wherein they did declare
in Article I, Section 5, Clause 1 that each “House” shall be sole “Judge” of
the “qualifications” of its “Members”:
“Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications
of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum
to do business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may
Page 94 of 101
be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner,
and under such penalties as each House may provide.” [Emphasis added]
Do you not see why the multitude of “Complaints” as filed within the “Federal Courts”
and “Courts” of the “states” challenging the “Office Qualifications” of “Members”
and “Candidates” of the “U.S. Congress” are always “Dismissed”?
The “Judicial Branch” of government is “Barred” by “Article I, Section 5, Clause 1” of
the “Constitution” for “The United States of America” to take “Jurisdiction” over
such “Litigation.” [Emphasis added]
This “Clause 1” of the “U.S. Constitution” is not an authorization for the members of
the “U.S. Congress” to seat a “Nominee” for either “House” (who is absent of
the required “qualifications” as set forth in the U.S. Constitution), but to the contrary;
it is a “mandate” for both “Houses” of “Congress” to “investigate,” “verify,”
and “record” each “Members” constitutional “qualifications”:
a. Member candidate has attain the age twenty-five (25) years for
the House of Congress; /156 and
b. Member candidate has been seven (7) years a Citizen of the United States
for the House of Congress; /157 and
d. Member candidate has attain the age thirty (30) years for the U.S. Senate; /159

Be advised that all the assassinated “Presidents” of “The United States of America,”

by “Jesuits” of the “Catholic Church.” The common theme for all those “Assassinations”
is the control of the issuance of “Money” for the nation of The United States of America.
Those “Assassinations” began with the issuance of “Green Backs”
by “Abraham Lincoln” to the issuance of “United States Notes” by “John F. Kennedy.”

Conclusion
170/ “https://tinyurl.com/3w8tyfhu”
171/ The “Preamble” to the “Constitution” for “The United States of America” is a “Preamble” which no
longer appears within most government publications of the “Constitution”:
“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote for the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and or posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for The United States of America.”
Page 98 of 101
it should be. In writing out a “Constitution” which explicitly granted the government
certain authorities, (and withheld from it others), and in which power was balanced
between multiple “Agencies” (the “Presidency,” two (2) Chambers of “Congress” and
the “Supreme Court” at the national level, and “state governments” of
the “United States” with similar branches), the intention of the “Framers” was
to restrain government - “Originalists” argue, and the value of such a “Document”
is “nullified” if that “Document's” meaning is not fixed. As one “Author” stated:
“If the Constitution can mean anything, then the Constitution is reduced
to meaninglessness.”
“That certain words may have developed different meanings over time
is inadmissible as an argument for construing the “Constitution.”
For this particular procedure would amount, not to reinterpretation,
but to misinterpretation. To be sure, in the course of time, as is often the case
with language, the meaning of words or terms is changed; but, even so,
the meaning of the “Constitution” does not change “pari passu.” /172
