"...maybe he simply misspoke, and was actually referring to Amendment XII."

The electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President...

EXACTLY

Obama thwarted the Constitution on a regular basis. I didn’t see the Dinosaur Times getting the vapors over that.

But that was back in the day when at least half a dozen people still considered that rag relevant.

Article XII does NOT exist.

Amendment XII exists.

Should be titled: “Trump Is a Threat to Uphold the Constitution”....that’s why they fear 4 years of Trump.

Not a snopes lover, but reading the article gives me the same impression as “no one loves the 2nd amendment more than me” and “no one loves the Bible more the me”.

Hyperbole is a tool. Evidently one that escapes the MSM abilities to cope with.

The quote:
“Not only will I stand up for Article One,” Trump enthusiastically stated, according to Sanford. “I’ll stand up for Article Two, Article 12, you name it of the Constitution.”

Don’t remember any shock about 57 states and a few more to visit.

Face it. No matter what he says or does, (manufactured) shock is going to sweep the rooms of the NYT. He says left, they say right. He says day, they say night. It’s how it is.

I dunno. I think we should start ignoring crapola like this. Maybe concentrate on the first 100 days promises. Build a scorecard. Ask the new president week to week how he’s coming. If he doesn’t try seriously hard on those items, shock should sweep through the country.

I have faith in our new guy. I want to keep on winning, which means avoiding getting drawn into these pointless issues.

No executive orders; no cloture; no judge-inveigling/no Justice Dept. packing/no nominees we don’t like; no reduction in federal govt. personnel; no stopping grant money to `sanctuary cities’/municipal scofflaws or other `greater good’ agencies; no presidential checkbook, unless to write 500 million dollar global warming checks to the UN; no Christmas Eve laws, unless it’s to pick-the-citizens-pockets laws; no `ghost-jobs’ or feather bedding, unless they are Democrats. No, no, no.
IOW, `Do as we say, not as we do.’

The NYT/Old Gray Whore, a minitru news division of Rat, Inc.

They act like they won and control two branches of govt., don’t they?

Yes, they most certainly can. The real question is this, can GOPe neverTrump scum like the author go any lower than writing an oped for the NYTimes attacking their party’s President Elect? Pitiful is what it is.

On http://constitutionus.com/ they use the term "Article" like this:

[Article XII] (Amendment 12 - Election of President)
The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President ... etc.

Okay, it's an Amendment, but I don't see it as an unreasonable mistake to say "Article", unless you're a constitutional purist, which the author of the original post probably is not, except when it suits him.
Nothing to hyperventilate about anyway, or declare Trump as a threat to the Constitution, not compared to 0bama anyway.

He was off by only 5, Obama was off by 7 in the number of U.S. states. Perhaps he thought roman numeral V stood for 10, thus making VUU 12.

“Wow, could the NYTs get any worse.”

I know how it could get better but there could be civilian casualties.
