"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It is a statement of purpose. It defines who it was intended to apply to and to what ends. It describes DOMESTIC tranquility, not tranquility between nations or between the universe of peoples. It describesw COMMON DEFENSE, for those who form the "common". It says that it does so for those who join into it and their descendants, not for the Chinese. The United States is the union of States...this union being consented to by the people of those States...not by the Huns in Hungaria, nor the other peoples. It IS a part of the document.

The "Preamble" is an introduction.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
"...the People of the United States...establish this Constitution..."
It doesn't specify "for citizens only,"
and it doesn't give any power to any branch of our government.
The Preamble has no legal application at all.
It is the introduction to the legal document.

Yes, it is a part of the document, I didn't say it wasn't.
I said the Preamble was only an introduction,
said nothing that had any legal application,
and conferred no power to any branch of government.

Preamble:
1) an introductory statement;
especially :
the introductory part of a constitution or statute
that usually states the reasons for and intent of the law.

Of course the Constitution only applies to people under our jurisdiction,
as recognized by the 14th Amendment,
and not to people in other lands.
