Congress is bought and paid for just like Obama.

The US was taken over by the european banking cartel back when they accepted the fed reserve.  Control the money, control everything.  Everything needs funding.

They arn't stupid, they are sly.  The people are stupid because they don't even know their own history and believe its all a theory whilst sitting amidst the shit created by the same foreign banking cartel.

Luckily a lot of people are waking up now finally.  It takes a complete collapse before people figure out the same game that has been played historically in every western country...

Control money, create propaganda, control war.

Money, military, media.  Same shit thats been happening since forever.  Learn history people.

They are smarter than you think
we have 14 trillion in debt
and we only make 2 trillion annually
its like a person making $30,000 have a $210,000 house they are trying to pay off
but what u dont realize
is that if u have the debt for long enuf
maybe we can get it forgiven
or that all currencies are going to collapse and there will be an international currency
either way we are not paying that $ back

And yet, the Republicans seem backed into a corner by a segment of their voters so bent on ideological purity that they're prepared to destroy our economy.

actually

the president refuses to enact a balanced budget amendment, and cut any meaningful spending.


Instead, the media is blaming Congress, and scaring senior citizens and veterans that they'll be homeless if the House doesn't cave in to Obama by August 2nd.

Quote:

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment, or
Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. (This method has never been used.)
To Ratify Amendments

Three-fourths of the state legislatures approve it, or
Ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states approve it. This method has been used only once -- to ratify the 21st Amendment -- repealing Prohibition.
The Supreme Court has stated that ratification must be within "some reasonable time after the proposal." Beginning with the 18th amendment, it has been customary for Congress to set a definite period for ratification. In the case of the 18th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd amendments, the period set was 7 years, but there has been no determination as to just how long a "reasonable time" might extend.


The Constitution, then, spells out four paths for an amendment:

Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state conventions (never used)
Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state legislatures (never used)
Proposal by Congress, ratification by state conventions (used once)
Proposal by Congress, ratification by state legislatures (used all other times)
It is interesting to note that at no point does the President have a role in the formal amendment process (though he would be free to make his opinion known). He cannot veto an amendment proposal, nor a ratification. This point is clear in Article 5, and was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in Hollingsworth v Virginia (3 US 378 [1798]):

The negative of the President applies only to the ordinary cases of legislation: He has nothing to do with the proposition, or adoption, of amendments to the Constitution.
