Does that mean that we can buy slaves again?
Looks like the Thirteenth does allow Congress some wiggle room to bring it back.
“AMENDMENT XIII
Section 1.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation”
So he might be right about that one.
Or is he trying to angle for a third term before even doing his second?
“Amendment XXII
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.”
Is that what he meant about being the next FDR?
That one looks pretty tight. Good news bad news, Brandon. At least one Amendment isn’t absolute. Congress could bring back slavery. But you ain’t getting a third term.
