It makes me so sad because I can remember the first time reading and understanding the Constitution and tears came down my face because I was so thrilled to be living in such a wonderful country. I'M SAD BECAUSE IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS THE CONSTITUTION HAS ALMOST BECAME IRRELEVANT. Thank you BuchCo, you sure know how to ruin a good thing. And yoh W, YOU SUCK AND SO DOES YOUR WHOLE ADMINISTRATION. I HOPE YOU LIKE IRON BARS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I HOPE YOU'LL BE SOON.

@tomasgulas The U.S. Constitution is perfectly in step with the times as your comments (criticisms?) indicate If you'd like to "create" an Amendment..then go right ahead and pursue the matter. Good Luck. Otherwise focus energies on putting a stop to the efforts of the elites/elitists among us whose single minded goal is to pervert the meaning of The Constitution's original provisions and get their twisted version of things accepted by the masses as the common law.

To wit: 14th Amendment

[kiiifute1]

"A natural-born citizen has been defined as one whose citizenship is estab'd by the jurisdiction which the U.S. already has over the parents of the child,not what is thereafter acquired by choice of residence in this country"

If the Founders had not wanted an expansive definition of citizenship,Morse writes,"it would only have been necessary to say,'no person,except a native-born citizen

@tomasgulas You no absolutely nothing about this. For thing the 2nd amendment,the right to keep & bear armswas for the maintanence of a well regulated militia. Militias exist & they do exist today (there are more then 300) to keep ant gov'y fromdoing what England did.

[tomasgulas]

Constitution is out of date!! Create new constitution, or amendments that are more relevant to this time!

Children of slaves automatically became US citizens, so that they could stay in this country. Nowadays, illegals, and even tourist take advantage of this out of date law that is hurting all of us!

Right to bear arms was to protect people against militias. There are no militias now only criminals!

Constitution was written to solve problems in the times when it was written. TIMES HAVE CHANGED

My favorites are the first amendment and the second, They are a tie for first place because you can't have one without the other. AND the first amendment is not just freedom of speech and the press, its freedom of Religion too.
