"Is the Electoral College 'un-American?'"

---

The ultimate purpose of the electoral college is to make sure that the right person is in charge of the armed forces during wartime.

On the other hand, most patriots still do not seem to understand that, militia readiness aside, one of the main peacetime responsibilities of POTUS of the constitutionally limited power federal government is to sign an annual 20+ page appropriations bill to keep the mail moving, one of the very few powers that the states have actually given to the peacetime federal government, most federal domestic policy now based on state powers that the post-17th Amendment ratification feds have stolen from the states.

• "Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, many women citizens probably still don't understand that the main thing that their fight for women's suffrage won for them in the context of federal elections, evidenced by the 19th Amendment, is the right to complain about unconstitutionally high federal taxes as a consequence of federal government abuse of 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), a right that men already had even though both men and women evidently still don't have a grip on just how corrupt the federal government is.

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• From the congressional record, a clarification about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers by Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker:

  ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

• "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

• "19th 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. (19A mainly gave women a voice to complain about high cost of federal postage stamps.)
  
  Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

All that being said, Obama is actually to be commended for spending as much time on the golf course as he did imo, playing lots of golf arguably symbolic of what constitutional drafters had in mind for a peacetime POTUS.

Patriots, let's not waste Trump's campaign time. We need to support hopeful Trump 47 by electing a new patriot Congress in November so that he will not be a lame duck POTUS from the first day of his second term, the new Congress supporting Trump to quickly finish draining the swamp.

And Trump will hopefully break Obama's record for POTUS hours spent golfing after Trump finishes draining the swamp.

Patriots are reminded that the only race-related protection that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect limits the federal government powers to voting rights remedies, evidenced by the 15th Amendment.

• "15th Amendment:

  Section 1. 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 race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Butler, 1936.

Also consider, since constitutionally enumerated sex protections are likewise limited to voting rights remedies, that much of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its titles are probably unconstitutional imo.

"19th 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.

From the congressional record, a clarification about the federal government's constitutionally limited peacetime powers by Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker:

"Our Constitution never conferred upon the Congress of the United States the power - sacred as life is, first as it is before all other rights which pertain to man on this side of the grave - to protect it in time of peace by the terrors of the penal code within organized states; and Congress has never attempted to do it. There never was a law upon the United States statute-book to punish the murderer for taking away in time of peace the life of the noblest, and the most unoffending, as well, of your citizens, within the limits of any State of the Union [emphases added]. The protection of the citizen in that respect was left to the respective States, and there the power is to-day.” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See bottom half of third column.)

And given the corrupt federal government's reputation for destroying everything it touches, Social Security needs to be returned to the sovereign states where citizens of a given state will have more control over state people-care programs than they do through the federal government.

In order for the people to start putting the nation back on its constitutional foundations, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters must first do the following. They need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, but will also support him in surrendering state powers that the unconstitutionally big federal government has been stealing from the states back to the states.

These Oregon countries are glaring evidence that the corrupt, OBiden-protecting Congress is not doing its constitutionally enumerated duty to guarantee each state a republican form of government imo.

This is why all Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress, not only so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his 2nd term, but will also do its 4.4 duty to protect citizens from renegade states.

Jesus taught in Mark 7:7-13, particularly verse 13, that not even religious leaders have the right to interfere with parental authority, religious leaders wrongly nullifying the "Honor your father and mother commandment" by doing so.

"America has too many bad schools."

---

A freeper recently appropriately (imo) referred to schools as “federal contractors” (read: buy votes for elite federal Democratic and RINO politicians), probably applicable to many schools.

The MAJOR constitutional problem with "federal" funding for schools, evidenced by the excerpts below, is that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling.

• "The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)

• "The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In other words, the constitutionally clueless schools are “jumping” (how high?) to receive taxpayer dollars collected under abuse (imo) of 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), such funding arguably state revenues (citizen's wallets) that should never have left the states in the first place.

• "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

• From the congressional record:

  ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added].

Unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the post-17th Amendment (17A; popular voting for federal senators) ratification Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses, are facilitated by the federal government's abuse of its repealable 16th Amendment powers (16A; direct taxes).

"This is allll based on the John Roberts decision. Now, EVERYTHING is a tax."

Whatever the post-FDR era law schools are teaching students, its evidently not the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the drafters of the Constitution had intended for those powers to be understood.

In fact, John Roberts and his colleagues don't seem to understand that the Supreme Court has historically clarified that Congress's power to appropriate taxes is likewise constitutionally limited, evidenced by the excerpts below.

Consider that one of the main problems with taxes is that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification (popular voting for federal senators) Congress is greatly abusing is abusing its repealable 16th Amendment power (direct taxes) to appropriate taxes, Congress not able to reasonably justify probably most taxing and spending under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

• "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• From the congressional record, Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified Congress's constitutionally limited powers as follows:

• Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

Also consider the following excerpts from the writings of respected constitutional experts which indicate that the Roberts Court got Obamacare wrong imo, the states still uniquely having the 10th Amendment power to make, tax and spend for INTRastate healthcare policy, including to stop the spread of disease.

• "Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.

• "They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphases added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.

Since corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties have pirated control of state and federal governments, it's now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to do the following.

"64,000 Ballots Filled out by Claire Woodall-Vogg and Filled out by Election Workers?"

---

We might have heard this allegation a long time ago if Pence and the J6 Congress had done their duty to investigate possible violations of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.

• Consider the zero tolerance "hair trigger" wording of Section 2 of 14A.

  • "is denied to any"

  • "or in any way abridged,"

  • "14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. 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 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 [emphases added] 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." [Apportionment of Representatives]

• "Section 5 of 14A: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

Regarding the "in any way abridged" of Section 2, also note that not only does letting illegal immigrants vote weaken the constitutionally enumerated power of citizens, but consider the following.

Note that the congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had pointed out that states that allow non-citizens to vote effectively wrongly nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause."

• "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

• " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

• " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

Since the very corrupt (imo) post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot be trusted to respect constitutionally enumerated citizen protections, it is up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to do the following.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

I surmise that there are 22 (50?) institutionally indoctrinated state AGs who haven't really studied the Constitution that they swore to protect and defend.

Otherwise, they would be able to argue the following MAJOR constitutional problems with expanding WHO authority over the sovereignty states.

Not only have the states never expressly constitutionally given the big, bad, corrupt feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes, not even to stop the spread of diseases, Obamacare unconstitutional imo, but respected constitutional experts have also noted that the federal government cannot use its power to negotiate treaties as a backdoor to expand its powers.

First, Thomas Jefferson and Justice Joseph Story as examples, had noted that healthcare is a state power issue, not the business of the feds. In other words, Obamacare for example, is just another corrupt federal government front-end for unconstitutional, unaccountable federal government taxing and spending imo.

• "Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.

• "They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government.

I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country." —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

• Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

Regarding the federal government unconstitutionally expanding its powers through WHO, Thomas Jefferson, undoubtedly based on his experience as President of the Senate, also the Supreme Court, had both clarified that the feds cannot use treaties to expand the federal government's powers.

• “Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .

• "The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.

• (Again) "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people.

But we now have a renegade Congress, pirated by corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties, that evidently thinks that it can give illegal aliens the right to vote to keep desperate elite Democrats and RINOs in power regardless that illegal aliens aren't even mentioned in the Constitution.

In fact, Democrats are wrongly ignoring that the post-Civil War congressional record shows that lawmakers were concerned that renegade states who allowed illegal aliens to vote were effectively nullifying the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause," which elite Democrats are now wrongly trying to do imo.

• "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

• " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

• " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

Since Congress can no longer be trusted to respect the Constitution, it is up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his 2nd term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Given the wording of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A) which Pence and the J6 Congress seem to have ignored imo, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred, we're seeing ongoing obstruction of proper investigation of alleged ballot box fraud in Georgia and other states for 2020 elections imo.

• Consider the zero tolerance "hair triggers" of Section 2 of 14A.

  • "is denied to any"

  • "or in any way abridged,"

  • "14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. 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 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 [emphases added] 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." [Apportionment of Representatives]

• "Section 5 of 14A: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

If this were a better world, the feds would be publicly reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of constitutional voting integrity protections.

Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November, not only so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will also support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific powers to either dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling except for militia training, or to deal with sex-related protections outside the scope of voting rights, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.

• "19th 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.
  
  Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]."

Prohibited federal powers to deal with schools are evidenced from the writings of President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also the writings of Justice Joseph story.

• "The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)

• "The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

In other words, the "federal" funding that the corrupt feds are threatening the loss of for public school non-compliance with desperate Democratic politically correct, vote-winning LGBT "rights" can be thought of state revenues (citizens' wallets) that the unconstitutionally big federal government steals from the people by abuse of repealable 16th Amendment powers (direct taxation).

• "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

• ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

As with any law made by the unconstitutionally big, post-17th Amendment ratification federal government, patriots first need to go upstream to the Constitution to find a clause that reasonably justifies the law. And if there is no clause, then patriots have a constitutional duty (imo) to replace the entire House and whatever senators are up for reelection in the next election, November 2024 a great time to start doing so.

• “3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters [emphasis added]; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction [spin] and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Patriots desperately need to fire post-16th Amendment (16A) ratification career celebrity lawmakers who chase the tsunami of unconstitutional federal taxes fostered by the abuse of that clause, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

• "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

• From the congressional record:

  ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

Regarding voting by aliens, note that women couldn't vote in states that prohibited women from voting until after the 19th Amendment (19A) was ratified.

"19th 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.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

And for states that think that they can simply allow illegals to vote like they let women vote before 19A, consider this. The congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had expressed concern that states that allow non-citizens to vote effectively nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause."

• "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

• " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

• " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

So OBiden must first lead Congress to successfully propose an illegal aliens voting rights amendment to the Constitution before illegals can vote to keep desperate elite Democratic and RINOs in power imo, such an amendment effectively repealing the relevant part of the Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause. But it isn't going to happen imo.
