The Constitution of the United States was created by the people of the United States composing the respective states, who alone had the right.” - James Madison
Today marks the 222nd anniversary of the formation and signing of our Constitution. The United States Constitution is one of the greatest founding documents in history because it charted a bold new path in the realm of political theory. Not only does the Constitution establish checks and balances within the federal government, it also divides power among the federal government, the states, and the people. The Founders understood that it is the nature of government to grow at the expense of the people’s liberty; and with that in mind, they established a form of government that would be limited in scope and power in order to maximize power to the people.
Today, let’s also take the opportunity to thank our armed forces. The weight of defending our liberty rests on their shoulders, and because of their efforts and sacrifice, we can celebrate the 222nd anniversary of the formation of our Constitution.

Nice sentiment. Shame she doesn’t believe in actually upholding the constitution. She can talk the talk, but clearly can’t walk the walk. That pesky “Natural born citizen” thing is only for kooks that good Republicans ignore, right?
Sheesh, talk about a vanity thread!
