“Semantic nitpicking on the internet will make you insane.”

It takes an insane person to think a Constitutional Amendment is an Act of Congress. Acts of Congress are passed by and carry the authority of Congress. A Constitutional Amendment, once ratified, takes priority OVER all acts of Congress.

This is not semantic nit-picking. Opening the door in the Senate is not an Act of Congress, and neither is a Constitutional Amendment. And it is not possible to carry on a discussion with someone who cannot understand something so basic...it would be like discussing electronic warfare with a two year old.

“An act of Congress (or Act of Congress) is a statute enacted by government with a legislature named “Congress,” such as the United States and the Philippines.

“In the United States, acts of Congress are designated as either public laws, relating to the general public, or private laws, relating to specific institutions or individuals. Since 1957, all acts of Congress have been designated as “Public Law X-Y” or “Private Law X-Y,” where X is the number of the Congress and Y refers to the sequential order of the bill (when it was enacted).”
