"Who Is on Your 2024 Presidential Election Ballot?"

Discussion about presidential election ballots follows below.

To begin with, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters are reminded that the Constitution's drafters established the Electoral College to make sure that the right person is in the wartime Oval Office.

At the other extreme, the Electoral College is MAJOR OVERKILL for making sure that the right person is in the Oval Office to make sure that your mail is delivered promptly, the US Mail Service being one of the very few MAJOR powers that the states have given to the feds to dictate peacetime domestic policy.

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"It is one of a few government agencies explicitly authorized by the Constitution of the United States." (non-FR)
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In other words, most federal domestic policy is now based on state powers, and uniquely associated state revenues (people's wallets), that the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification (17A; popular voting for federal senators) Congress regularly steals from the people by means of abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (16A; direct taxes), taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify with its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims (7.11.24)
Arizona Sheriff: Illegal Immigrants Being Handed $5,000 Visa Gift Cards, Cell Phones, And Plane Tickets (12.7.23)
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

Regarding presidential election year ballots, there are only a very small number of constitutionally bona-fide presidential electors chosen in each state that are constitutionally required to meet in one place and vote to try to make sure that your mail is delivered on time.

"Article II, Section 1, Clause 2: 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 [emphasis added]: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."
Excerpted from 12th Amendment (12A):
"The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists 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[emphasis added];--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 for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; ..."

After all, consider that it is impossible for millions of ordinary voters whom the states have never expressly constitutionally given the power to vote for POTUS to meet in one place to vote for president, the presidential election year circuses that we see on TV every year political party / mainstream media smoke and mirrors, probably intended to deceive ordinary voters to believe that they are in control of who is in the Oval Office imo.

In fact, taking California's 64 electoral votes as an example, the most votes of any state, I could handle tallying up the number of votes for each candidate from 64 electors, probably in under an hour including double-checking.

The point is that renegade states taking days to decide who won POTUS in their states based on the votes of constitutionally unauthorized ordinary citizen voters is pure voting integrity fraud imo.

Also, note that 12A allows up to three presidential candidates (originally 5 candidates), possibly three political parties, to proceed to House, one to be decided as POTUS, if initial joint session of Congress doesn't find an electoral vote majority new president.

"[...] they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President [all emphases added], and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists 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 for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President."

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Pence and J6 Congress hurried to accept Biden's challenged electoral votes instead of trying to explain why 12A allows for three candidates to be decided by House.

Since Congress and likewise renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Supporting Trump to finish draining the swamp includes supporting him to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by leading the states to repeal 16&17A, effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
