That’s because Congress was to write those laws as to the enforcement mechanism, and the states the same with their jurisdictions. The Constitution was not meant to be explicit on those matters. Nevertheless, the Constitution explicitly calls oaths or affirmations binding.
But that’s the problem with constitutions that do have such laws enshrined—they are too readily abused. Have a look at the constitutions that are too comprehensive in its laws.
Never mind Tacitus’ famous quote, that outlines the fact that the state with the most laws is the most corrupt.
Correct; among men though, Trump is the leader of what we can term the opposition to the Uniparty. So far, it appears that God is really taking Trump’s side in how the left is being steadily exposed.
Where is the “enforcement mechanism” in the Constitution for treason? Article 3 Section 3 defines treason and how one must be convicted of same, but not the “enforcement mechanism” other than the executive branch; and it’s left to Congress to define the punishment required.
PS. There are four federal laws that outline the mechanism for punishing violation of oaths/affirmations of office, listed here: http://foavc.org/01page/Articles/Violation%20of%20Oath%20of%20Office%20and%20Walker%20v%20Members%20of%20Congress.htm
It's a devilish problem. Who brings the charge? Who makes the arrest? Who manages punishment? How is "Who" selected without those officers becoming beholden to the District of the Craven?
This is where the 17th Amendment shows to be an evil. If Senators represented their States, the States could get them to file charges. It would take an Amendment, but let's say a third of the States were up for leveling charges, then that would require an Impeachment vote in the House, which effectively puts a two year time limit on a dangerous President. Tragically, as things are now per the 17th, Senators effectively represent DC because they are so beholden to mass media.
See tag line.
The constitution of the USSR was more detailed in terms of rights than the US; problem is, it construed them in “positive rights” format where they were granted by government (Obama complained about our “charter of negative liberties” because they tied government’s hands) and with the caveat of being “in the interests of the working people”, and we know how well that worked out
“Hanging by the neck seems excessive.”
Hanging is certainly technically binding, if not legally.
Who brings the charge? Who makes the arrest? Who manages punishment?
It might be to our advantage to start locally. Find out who drafts city code, and aim for verbiage that prohibits manifest enemies of the Constitution from voting or holding public office.
The “right” to shed innocent blood is *explicitly* prohibited. That is the meaning and intent of that document. That we even need to gave this conversarion as a society is a sad commentary on the state of affairs in our nation.
No, I meant “more”. Politicians lying has a far greater impact on my wallet than snake oil salesmen.
Think carefully on that as to how it could be used. Is anyone that wants to amend the Constitution its enemy?
The judiciary has been permitted to supervise its own for too long.
Jurisprudence has little if any oversight outside of itself, and so we are encumbering ourselves with legislation that does not address wrongs committed, but even the potential to commit a wrong.
Not. They’re total masturbation.
Witness stand oath is really just a formality. Lying on the stand is perjury. Actually doesn’t matter if you took the oath, it’s still perjury. In practice that oath is really just a person saying “yes I know there could be consequences”.
Ah, that makes sense. I thought you meant more damaging to the politician. If there’s a way to get the wrong meaning out of something, I’ll find it.
BREAKING:
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors just ran out of a public meeting when they were served the following:
My name is Michelle Klann, and I’m here today to put you on public notice and to inform you that you are not our elected officials.
None of you have never signed an oath to the Republic of Arizona.
Instead, you have signed an oath of office to a foreign corporation which means this is an act insurrection.
You do not have a proper bond carrying surety for your actions to we the people.
Due to all the voter fraud, you have never been formally voted in.
Acting as if you have any authority over the people is a direct act of treason.
Today we, the body sovereign are presenting you each a notice of liability and opportunity to cure. The fine is $1.75 million per claim and there are 12 signatures which means you are each personally liable for $21 million. If you do not resign in 3 days you will be presented with a writ quo warrento , an a waiver of tort. If you do not rebut these truths and you remain in office, We will be notifying the military, and your act of treason will be grounds for an immediate military tribunal.
I don’t need to tell you the penalties for treason.
We the body sovereign, hereby command you to resign within three days or else face the consequence.
I’m also here today to hand you this jump drive, which contains a 5000 page document notifying you of all the dangers of the Covid vaccine and the poison in the water to name a few.
These are high crimes and acts against humanity. If you cover up high crimes, you will be held guilty for committing acts against humanity.
Therefore I hereby command you to send a public broadcast to every resident in Maricopa county notifying them of these dangers within the next three days or you will be in direct violation and derelict of your supposed of duty, making you even more accountable for your actions.
Notice to agent is notice to principal.
You have been formally served on record.
I think I’d take those words as a little more than formality.
Oath: I swear by Almighty God that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Take them how you want. The fact is if you’re on the stand you can get busted for perjury, with or without the oath. It IS just a formality legally.
