Senators Ignore the Constitution

Article 2 Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States says,

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

What we now call czars and excuse as the exclusive right of the president to pick without any consultation of the senate are not lawful or constitutional. These czars are public ministers, or consuls or at the very least to be considered “other officers” and as such they need to be confirmed by the senate yet our senate has not vetted a single one of them.

How do they justify this? They do not justify it at all. They simply let it happen and we allow them to let it happen. There ought to be public outrage regarding the lack of responsibility of our senators.

I'm guessing Obama and our senators have either not bothered to read the constitution or do not feel it applies to them. I have written to Senator Barbie Boxer and Senator Diane (Frankenstein) Feinstein) and of course all you ever get back from these lousy representatives are form letters that seem to indicate they don't even bother to read them.

If you haven't done so I recommend you take the 30 mins it may take to read through the Constitution. Unlike what our congress puts together our founding fathers wrote in very clear understandable terms how they wanted things to run. You will be amazed at the number of things our non-representing representatives now do that violate the constitution. Maybe because it's just not convenient to do those things or maybe they think they have good reason, but they certainly don't have any legal reason for it. The constitution requires that money be in gold and silver coin, not paper and certainly not paper not even backed by gold.

In just a cursory reading of the constitution I have run into at least 10 clear violations of the constitution that have just become accepted as normal. Pelosi, Reid, and almost every other non-representing representative we have seems to show disdain for the constitution.

Keep in mind that attempting to overthrow the constitution, according to the constitution is considered an act of treason. Obama has been shown even from his college days that he holds disdain for the constitution so why is he even president. I wonder if such writing as this will get my on an enemies list. Yet it seems not only is Obama but possibly even the congress is keeping such a list. These things have been confronted briefly and brushed aside by the media with no real action taken. This goes to show just how much our non-representing representatives have stripped the power of the constitution.

We need to get rid of these people as soon as possible if we hope to keep the republic intact.
