I have no doubt the so-called elected leaders of our nation today, feel the Constitution is nothing more than a hindrance to their objective of unfettered power and many of the people of this nation would rather live in anarchy, which is a shame. But the document states what it states, whether anyone likes it or not!
Read that a little more carefully. My emphasis in brackets with notes in parentheses().
“...This Constitution, [and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof](1); and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, [any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.](2)”
(1) “Pursuance” - the continuance of something begun with a view to its completion. Thus the constitution is the “framework” of the law of the land, not the law itself. This matters right now, because congress never passed a law to enforce the presidential “natural birth” clause. As such, nobody is in charge of assuring it is followed, *or* that it is enforced; *and* there is no penalty for violating it. In short, the “framework” in this case, are bones with no muscle to give them movement.
(2) Rather unnervingly, in was only in 1957, with the SCOTUS decision of Reid v. Covert, who ruled that no branch of the United States Government can have powers conferred upon it by treaty that have not been conferred by the United States Constitution.
This decision was just in the nick of time, as subsequent, “internationalist” presidents have been itching to do just that, to use foreign treaties to impose unconstitutional acts on the American people.
The villains are still trying to do it, by claiming that some foreign treaties are “below the status of treaties”, and so do not require US senate approval—but still have the force of law in the US. Scoundrels.
