Bainbridge Colby, Esq., de facto secretary of state, certifies the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote in Federal elections, has received the requisite ratification of three-fourths of the states—this despite it NOT having been proposed by a lawfully elected (within the provisions of Article I, Section 3 [Clause 1]) senate.
NOTES:
- This amendment was totally unnecessary, as women were gaining the right to vote at an increasing rate in ALL elections at the state level. The first State to grant women the right to vote was Wyoming in 1869; fourteen years later there were two States; a decade later that number doubled again; two decades later it had doubled again; and less than a decade after that it doubled again. –
- As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Colby was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
