The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendment 27

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.














They have to vote on raising minumum wage, yet have to make an amendment regarding their own pay raises.

Well we've done it. The US Constitution. What our fair nation is built on. However, a new amendment may be on the way. One that is almost reminiscent of the 18th in that it takes our freedom away. Preserving the integrity of marriage in this country is doing just that, preserving marriage. It makes no difference who you marry, what you marry, or how you marry. Separating Church and State will keep the 28th amendment from ever happening. Vote Democrat!

The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendment 26

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.









Whatever.

The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendment 25

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.












No comment. Actually yes I do have a comment. Has there ever been a vice-president capable of assuming a role without making things worse?

The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendment 24

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.

The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendment 23

The District constituting the seat of government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a state, but in no event more than the least populous state; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the states, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a state; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.


Just in case...

The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendment 22

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.




The mess that is caused in one term, usually takes two terms to clean up. If chosen to be done so.

The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendment 21

The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.







What? Did they really think it was going to last?

The 219th Annual Carnival Ticket: Amendments 19 & 20

The right of citizens in the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Now don't think we don't support this. We just can't believe that people had to sit down and think about who can and can't vote. This is just another example of what is wrong with the whole picture. We actually need an amendment to give women the right to vote? And how could it have possibly taken over 140 years for that to happen? How paranoid was the white male in the 19th century? What's worse, is that the House passed the amendment 304-89 and the Senate 56-25. How could that many people vote "Nay"?









The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3rd day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified. The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the House of Representatives may choose a President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them, and for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the Senate may choose a Vice President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them. Sections 1 and 2 shall take effect on the 15th day of October following the ratification of this article. 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.


Look, first off, who was planning on pulling a fast one on the country that this one needed to be put in place? Second, in my voting lifetime, I've supported only half the candidates that have won. But even so, there is no way in hell I'd sit in a D.C. January to see them lie on the Good Book. To think that they haven't even figured out to put it indoors yet tells you a lot about the event planners.
