We may want to consider an amendment prohibiting the ownership and regulation of land or water by the federal government. The only exception would be military bases and land needed for occupied federal buildings.
Is the federal government using this land as collateral to secure the loans from China? How do we find out?
Consider, about 8-10 years back (I don’t remember exactly) the State of Mexico passed a law that stripped land ownership rights nationwide. See how simple it makes oil/mineral rights => you don’t have any land rights -period. Then governments owns all the land and hence all the rights to the land. If the own it they can sell it or collateralize it or hypothosize it. It only takes a vote and a stroke of a pen.
If the flash Justice Roberts his NSA file again he’ll say it’s constitutional.
I think one of the first things an Article V convention should address is the ability of STATES to impeach and recall federal elected officials. The national level US Congressmen and Senators will not do their duty to get these federal bureaucracies under control, reduced or better yet eliminated. We need a way to hold their (federal officials) feet to the fire. We need to be able to recall Senators, Congressmen, Federal Judges etc if they do not uphold the constitution. I think the willpower to reduce the size and overreach of the Federal government is much stronger at the state level, and we have a much greater chance of electing constitutionally responsible officials with some moral courage at the state senator/representative level.
