 Trump
Has Rewritten
the Constitution
President Trump has put his busy little pen to work and
drafted an executive order revising, not only the first ten
amendments (commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights) of
the U.S. Constitution, but the first twenty amendments. The
affects of this action are far reaching and will effect
millions of Americans across the country. Please read
through the revisions and post a comment at the bottom of
this page showing your opposition to these changes before
they become law and completely ruin the American society and
American democracy you have grown to love and Cherish.
The amendments are listed in numerical order, with each
amendment written verbatim as it appeared originally in the
U.S. Constitution. Following each amendment, is the Trump
proposed revisions, shown in red print. |

 Hope
You Enjoyed This
Hey the last few weeks have been frustrating, to say the
least. I needed to do something to relieve the tension and a
Trump rewrite of the constitutional amendments was just the
ticket. No, the amendments of the constitution are not
actually being rewritten, for those of you who got to the
end of this page and still didn't realize....sorry for the
sarcasm....again frustrated. Anyway, if you found this even
mildly entertaining, please give your friends the chance to
enjoy it too. Thanks. |
