What is nonsense is your attempt to deny Congress a power expressly reserved to them by the Constitution.

You should also take into account the last sentence of Article 1 Section 8:

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

But enough of me citing the Constitution, historical facts, and laws of the land. Your turn to start citing references to support your position.

Congress does not, nor have they EVER HAD, the ability to CHANGE THE MEANING OF WORDS in the US Constitution.

This power is FORBIDDEN. Not only is it NOT ALLOWED, it can NEVER be allowed. It would be an open door to tyranny.

Congress cannot repeal the law of nature. It is not among their powers.

Please. You've barely scratched the surface, and what bits you do cite, you get completely wrong. You are in the kiddie pool of this debate, and until you move into deeper waters, i'm not really interested in trading historical cites with you.
