American History Condensed - Legislative Powers and Limitations (Congress)

My people perish from a lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4: 6 (KJV)

United States Constitution - Article 1

Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section. 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

Section. 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
(NOTE: The Seventeenth Amendment (Amendment XVII) to the United States Constitution established direct election of United States Senators by popular vote. The amendment was proposed on May 13, 1912 and ratified April 18, 1913.)

It is commonly stated that all problems facing the United States are either started or solved by the United States Congress and specifically the United States Senate.

The job of a Senator intended by our Founding Fathers was to represent the States and the Citizens within those States. Since the 17th Amendment in 1913, Senators NO LONGER represent the State, but usually only the Citizens within the Urban areas (Large Cities) of each State.

Several Powers were granted to the united States Senate, the power to try impeachments, a duly elected office holder can be impeached by the House of Representatives, but they can only be convicted and penalized by the Senate.

The Senate was also given the power to advise and consent to the appointment of cabinet officers and judges.

The Senate was also given the power to approve or reject treaties with other nations.

One does not have to be a serious or Expert Historian to track the results (since 1913) after Senators were given power to be Elite members of the Oligarchy to see the disastrous results of this change.

NOTE: Oligarchy = a government in which a small group exercises control, especially for corrupt and selfish purposes.

Mayors of Obamerican cities blame guns because it's easier than blaming people and now the President of Obamerica has turned to the same shameless tactic. The NRA counters that people kill people, but that's exactly why Obamerican leaders would rather talk about the guns.

Lt. General Tom McInerney told Judge Jeanine tonight (10/13/12) that the only reason the Obama administration ordered the FBI to investigate the Benghazi attack is to stall it through the election.

Matt Barber - God Will Not Be Mocked

Robin of Berkeley

Obama thinks we're on his Slave Ship, and he's taking us along for a ride. He wants us to experience the same terror, helplessness, and despair as that New York audience held captive in the theater long ago. He wants us to suffer. That's why there's an impish gleam in his eye when he consigns Republicans to the back of the bus. For Obama, the change has come. But it's not prosperity. It's not uniting us as one people, Americans, under God. Click HERE to Read More

RG - In Defense With a Handgun

Defense like anything else in life, is all about decisions and creating and maintaining an action plan that is thoroughly thought out and constantly updated. When one is under duress and lives are at stake, that is NOT the proper time to make decisions. This is why training and an action plan is vitally important, because it is better to act on instinct when frightened or stressed than try and make instantaneous decisions without pre-planning and an action plan.
