Problems in Democracies

            How do we regain control of our country with all the rights given to Americans by the Bill of Rights? We have people who are putting absolute lies on broadcast, cable, and social media which is allowed by the First Amendment. We are awash with guns which are being used by gangs to kill each other and bystanders under the Second Amendment. Criminals and malcontents are using these two amendments to rip our country apart.

            The question is how do we stop it? How do we stop people from starting and spreading conspiracies and lies while allowing truthful opinions and information to be disseminated? We already have some laws prohibiting starting a riot or yelling “Fire” in a theater. Do we need more laws or just expanding their intent?

            Millions of guns are manufactured here by gun companies, imported from other countries, and made or revised at home. Hundreds of thousands of those guns are in the hands of criminals, militias, and crazy people. Some states allow easy access and sale of guns while others try to keep guns away from criminals, gangs, children and nut cases.

            Only Federal laws and additional amendments can solve these problems but with so much money and control of the opinions and fears of Americans nothing will be done. Other real democratic countries are now having the same problems. For people in those countries and ours to continue as civilized democratic countries, these two huge problems must be eliminated.

A Real Act of Patriotism

            This letter is for those people who want to use the Constitution and amendments to defend their views. The problem is they must not have read it or are reading wacko conspiracy websites that are misusing it.

            The point many readers are missing is when you elect someone they swear an oath to the real Constitution and not to you. Those Senators who voted against the results of the election did not follow their Constitutients or the Constitution. They voted for a dictatorship.

            Those Senators and Representatives who promoted the January 6 insurrection or have tried to down play or hinder the investigation aren’t doing their Constitutional duties either. They are being complicit in the criminal aspects of the insurrection. As the investigation continues, we shall hear many reasons to hide their involvements and flip-flops.

            As for Adam Kinzinger, he has sworn the oath in the Military, County and Congress. I am very sure he can recite every word from memory and what those words mean. It means the Constitution wins over an attempt for a dictatorship or conspiracies about the election.

            As for those against the mandates for masks, maybe vaccines, and lockdowns, read the Preamble as the reason for the Constitution. It plainly says “promote the general welfare”. It means the government is supposed to keep us healthy.

Twenty-Fifth Amendment

Why is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi pushing a change in the Twenty-Fifth Amendment when Trump will probably lose the popular and electoral vote by a large percentage? When does a President become dangerous to the survivability and welfare of the country? In an episode of “Madame Secretary” it was a brain tumor. The President wanted to go to a nuclear war with Iran.

We all know Donald Trump hasn’t been completely sane for many years with his narcissism, sexual abuse, and lack of morals. The voters either didn’t see those mental defects or didn’t believe them important enough to consider when they voted. However, his obvious paranoia was increased by the steroids he has been taking to combat the Coronavirus. They make one hyper-active and increase one’s natural tendencies. While on the steroid and until it is out of his system, Vice-President Pence should be President.

Both Trump and Biden are of an age several mental conditions could affect a President’s actions. We now know Reagan should not have been re-elected. Other Presidents have acted in a questionable manner at times but they were in office before we knew about mental illness. Wilson’s stroke would have qualified had the amendment been in effect then.

Neither loyalty to the President or partisanship should be involved in making the decision to replace a President. Only their oath to protect the country should be of consideration. The President of the United States is literally the most powerful person in the world and mental or personal conditions can destroy the planet in an hour! Remember, we were afraid Nixon would start a war rather than resign.

XXV Amendment Section 4

Imagine President John F. Kennedy wasn’t killed by the bullet in the brain. He is in a vegetative state so we did not have someone who can legally carry out the powers and duties of the President. Some way was needed to keep America from having a President Woodrow Wilson situation again. Amendment XXV was proposed by Congress on July 6, 1965, only twenty months after JFK died, and was ratified on February 10, 1967.

After the amendment was enacted several Presidents have used Section 3 to turn over power to their Vice-President during an operation or procedure. It is a way of continuing the government during the hours when the President is unable to do so. The President signs a letter and copies are given to the Speaker of the House, the President Pro-Temp, and the Vice-President. When the President is able to resume his duties he writes another letter saying so.

Section 3 is simple and easily understood. Section 4 must have been written by a stadium of lawyers because it is full of legalese and hundreds of words. Why is it so important? It’s because it specifically details how to remove a President from office without their consent. I am sure the original intent was for a Wilson or surviving Kennedy scenario. However it can be used to remove a President who is mentally unfit to carry out the powers and duties of the President.

President Ronald Reagan stated to lose it before his second election as he demonstrated during the campaign. During his last year there was some discussion about whether he should step down on his own accord. I don’t remember any discussion of Section 4.

Now we have a President who demonstrates a moral unfitness and possibly a mental illness. He has lied over seven thousand times often telling conflicting lies during the same day. His narcissism is legendary. He treats women as toys for his own amusement. His boundless ego has created a fantasy world where he sees himself as emperor and able to bend everyone to his way of thinking. His lack of concentration and retention are well documented and perhaps caused by ADHD.

In his fantasy world, the realities of his intelligence community’s assessments are wrong. He thinks bullying people will always get his way and when it doesn’t, he lashes out. Lashing out when one has a nuclear trigger is scary.

Maybe Trump can be kept in line by the threat of the Cabinet or Congress unseating him with Section 4. It would be a huge step to utilize it but his thirst for absolute power may require it.
