Article 1, Section 9, Constitution of the United States

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Smoke & Mirrors



Democratic House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina attempting to explain why "deeming a bill to be passed" is both Constitutional and the rightt thing to do...In my opinion this doesn't pass the smell test.  According to Art 1, Sec 7 a bill MUST be voted on by both houses of Congress to be "passed" voting  on a rule that "passes" a bill becomes a rubber stamp and thus doesn't pass a simple/basic Constitutionality question.
