~The FReeper Canteen Presents~

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.

Article. II.

Section. 1.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.

The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President.

But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....Rain. Highs in the lower 60s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80 percent.

~ Tonight.......Rain. Lows in the lower 50s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80 percent.

I'm back at work. Feeling a little better but still not back to par.

Won't be around much today since it's election day and I want to get tabs on whatz happening around the country. I'm having a nightmare of a time picturing Obama sitting in the Oval Office or his wife as our First Lady!

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

Free Cigarettes Lady in Milwakee was caught OUTSIDE of any plling place.

[MeekMom]

Already voted friend. :)

Doin’ all I can to help McCain!

God love you!

[Tanniker Smith]

I'll stay out of it. My encouraging her would likely have the opposite effect.

So far, the polls are massively crowded all over Manhattan. However, out in my neck of the woods, I walked in and out in under five minutes. Bought some coffee and grabbed a bus and got to work 20 minutes earlier than usual.

If there's massive Obama turnout in NYC and Chicago, hey, more power to them. Stand on line for 3 hours to show your support. G'head.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. Better today. I have not voted yet. I wait until later when the lines a smaller. I like keeping the MSM guessing!

Glad to hear you’ve done yours already. How were the lines?

[beachn4fun]

LOL

Good morning, MM

[E.G.C.]

There was quite a few people out there. About 5 or 6 in our small town.

[lifelongsoldier]

September seventh 1961 I raised my right hand and took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. Many of you have taken that oath. I repeated it periodically over the next thirty years.

This morning at 6:40am my wife and I joined a line outside a polling precinct that usually has people arriving just as it opens and then a slow but steady trickle of voters throughout the day. We finally left the polling place an hour later. It has never, in the past thirty years, taken us that long to cast a vote. My beloved wife took the above oath several times, and today we both fulfilled it in the only way left to us, we voted to conserve the US.

When the riots start, my home will be defended. My profile says that I will surrender my guns, but only after I have spent all the ammunition I possess. Count on it.

[E.G.C.]

Extending my comments, the turnout was the most I’ve ever seen since I’ve been a part of the political process. I think everybody is recognizing what’s at stake here.
