Here is a real-life opportunity to see what happens in an Article 5-like situation.
It should be worth watching.
Article 5 conventions only have the power to propose amendments that must be approved by the states in the usual manner.
Period.
But you can’t fear-porn that, so lets pretend the entire constitution can be trashed and rewritten in an Article 5 convention.
Um…this is about the Cherokee Nation Constitution. Not the US Federal Constitution.
It’s right there in the first two sentences.
Um... You brought up Article 5 right in your doctored headline.
That was just a mental masturbation thing?

Does this encompass Oklahoma AND North Carolina
North Carolinian Cherokee appear totally sustainable in and of themselves
What we should do is just follow the Constitution.
In today’s deep-state and printed-fiat-money government - any change to the Constitution is guaranteed to be a disaster for freedom and the Republic.
This only refers to the “Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma”. There are two other official Cherokee tribes: The Keetowah Band of Oklahoma (who arrived before the Trail of Tears) and the North Carolina Cherokee. The Cherokee Nation is the biggest of the three and the one you hear of the most.
He seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders.
Can anyone think of any particular reason principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, Chuck Hoskin, Jr. can’t run for President of these United States?

Cherokee Nation Constitution of 1999
The Cherokee Nation is not a State of the United States and cannot propose amendments to the U.S. Federal Constitution under Article 5.
This is nothing like an Article V convention. Article V doesn't allow a convention to wholesale rewrite our Constitution the way that the Cherokee Nation constitution apparently does.

Cannot speak for the Red Man, but unless we put an end to the Democrats as a legitimate political entity, the changing the Constitution won’t help, as they flat-out IGNORE the present Constitution.
They should do like is done with the US Constitution - just ignore the parts you don’t like.

Yet moron weakness CONservatives could not get their act together when it mattered. I’m not sure they even had 33 states, but regardless republic-nts are stupid and weak and cowardly. When some are ready to actually fight, it will be too late.
The current battles are with the state and particularly with the governor and Hoskin has taken a sometimes unreasonable nationalistic bent. In doing so he has made some unreasonable claims about how well the tribe is doing in law enforcement and cooperation with state and locals. I see not so much. I also see the tribe just sowing seeds of jurisdictional confusion not helping matters. McGirt has been no friend of the state but has raised tribal militancy to highs not seen since the Indians took over Alcatraz.
Who is presidential timber? Surely not everyone and surely we can do much better and not much worse than the current buffoon in the white hut.
I'll be voting no for the Article 5 and in support of term limits.
The North Carolina Cherokee are the ones that didn’t agree to travel The Trail Of Tears to Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Cherokee are the ones that went along to get along. They are two different Cherokee governments. What one does has no effect on what the other does.
For those who still wail about the Trail of Tears..
Yes!
Some humans ought be declared enslavable and killable.
Enshrine slavery and abortion in one ammendment. Then we can compete with the Chinese as we bring these new immmigrants in and enslave them.
The Cherokee Nation should have their own state, as was promised by the Confederate States of America. The CSA granted the Cherokee citizenship in the CSA (something the USA would not do till 1920). They even had representation in the CSA Congress in Richmond. But the south lost the war and the victorious Federals took a sweet revenge upon the Rebel Native Americans. The highest rank issued to Black Federal troops was Master Sargent. The Highest rank given to Native Americans in the Confederate army was Brigadier General.
