The repeal amendment must first be passed by the Congress and three quarters of the states and be adopted, guaranteeing that the income tax becomes unconstitutional, before the NRST comes into being.

Repeal of the 16th amendment does not make the income tax unconstitutional.

Dear lucysmom,

I was under the impression that the Supreme Court had eventually struck down the income tax imposed mid-19th century, and that it is the 16th Amendment that gave constitutional authority for it.

If you have an alternative narrative, I'd appreciate reading about it.

However, even if mere repeal of the 16th Amendment doesn't do the trick, that could be fixed by making the language of the repeal amendment sufficiently explicit in forbidding the income tax.

I should think it would depend upon how the repeal amendment is worded.
