CONGRESS shall have the power to coin money
NO STATE shall make anything but Gold and Silver coin, a tender in payment of debts
"Creates status, standing and jurisdiction for “choice of law,” in the District of Columbia."
Of course. I bet Garland and company would like to do the same for criminal/civil law.
Missouri folks should start looking into Hicks. Guy sounds like a trojan horse.
The Constitution places the authority for coining money in the federal government. The federal government has passed bank failure laws which make it so that the fed can take over any bank it chooses, and fund the bank with the funds of depositors in other banks. The system makes it so that possession of wealth in currency is only an illusion.
What system is in place to take over when the federal system fails?
"This lays the groundwork for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDCs) that would be the ONLY currency authorized by the federal government [??? emphasis added]."

All that HB 1165 means is that a mask has fallen off another RINO who is not upholding his oath to protect and defend the Constitution whom Missouri patriots need to primary in 2024 imo.
Regarding legal tender, it doesn't matter what the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification federal government dictates about what currency citizens have to use. This is because the state have expressly constitutionally obligated the feds and themselves to use coin money as legal tender, the peacetime paper money that we use also unconstitutional imo.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 5: To coin Money [emphasis added], regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;"
"Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts [emphases added]; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
In fact, regarding Clause 5 of Section 8 above, note that the drafters of the Constitution wanted only metal coin money because paper money had proven hard to regulate, paper money defeating the fed's power to regulate value of money.
Justice Joseph Story had put it this way about problems with paper money.
"It has been justly remarked, that the power "to coin money" would, doubtless, include that of regulating its value [emphasis added], had the latter power not been expressly inserted. But the constitution abounds with pleonasms and repetitions of this nature."—Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 4 and 5, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 732--33, 735--39
"It is further to be observed, that the states cannot issue bills of credit; not that they cannot make them a legal tender; but that they cannot issue them at all. This is a clear indication of the intent of the constitution to restrain the states, as well from establishing a paper circulation, as from interfering with the metallic circulation [emphases added]."—Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 4 and 5, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 732--33, 735--39
I question if Democrats and RINOs of the very corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties have read the discussions of the drafters of the Constitution and are establishing policies that the drafters had decided against to purposely try to destroy the constitutional republic.
Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
