BIRTH OF A NATION—the second American Revolution ends: de facto Commander-in-Chief Andrew Johnson (a Citizen of the confederate State of Tennessee) issues Executive Order Seven: the unlawfully proposed 14th amendment is declared as having been ratified by three-quarters of the States—despite the numerous Constitutional violations in the ratification process. This fraud overturns Barron v. Baltimore and Scott v. Sandford, placing the states under the authority of Congress: the corporate (Federal) United States, thus suspending the State constitutions.
NOTES:
- The radical Republican leadership of Congress refused to allow the confederate legislators to be seated, for fear the 14th amendment would not receive the required two-thirds YEA vote in both houses of Congress; but when the confederate legislatures refused to ratify the 14th amendment, Congress passed the Reconstruction Act of 1867, placing the occupied states under martial law-until the three-fourths ratification requirement was met.
- Section 4 of the amendment states that “The validity of the public debt of the United States … shall not be questioned.”
- George P. Fletcher, Cardozo Professor of Jurisprudence at Columbia University School of Law, cites the three “Reconstruction Amendments” as the “Secret Constitution”—a constitution of equality—which derives its authority from the nation instead of WE THE PEOPLE, and governs as a democracy instead of a republic.
