I'll have to go back through my notes...but it was FDR who shortly after the Bank Holiday, ordered the Government Printing Office to remove from the Army Training Manual the definitions of a Republic and Democracy. This definition was used routinely in both the military and academia as the official description for these two types of goverment...and the distinction was obvious. Since that removal (sometime around 1932), liberals have intentionally misrepresented what type of government we are.

FDR is most directly responsible for the cultivation of this myth that the General Welfare Clause was a blank check for the Federal Government and that the limitations on the Federal Government were essentially null and void because of a general summary of the specific powers and areas of the Federal Government (enumerated powers).

I think you will find the path to this in either HR1491 or USCS12 Part 95B. FDR, in HR1491, gained Emergency Powers and made the citizens enemies of the state by revising the 1917 Trading With the Enimies Act - in order to make way for the ensuing gold confiscation.

Every second of recorded time since March 9th of 1933, we have lived in under extra-constitutional rule; due to the War and Emergency Powers Act.
