I think there needs to be a senate & congress vote AND a majority of states need to ratify the amendment after which the Supreme court does a review.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are so out of touch with the basic American citizen today that I’m sure they think the Postal Service is the organization that puts up road signs and highway barriers or something
I think there needs to be a senate & congress vote AND a majority of states need to ratify the amendment after which the Supreme court does a review.
I’m not sure a Supreme Court review is an official part of the process—the SC can review the constitutionality of ordinary laws, but amendments are constitutional by definition.
Wouldn’t the Supreme Court need to review to make sure 1 new amendment doesn’t include wording that conflicts with other amendments thought? Just asking, not sure about any of these, in fact I cannot even remember any amendment ratified after the Women’s right to vote in the 1920s.
No, by definition a Constitutional Amendment would be part of the Constitution. All branches of government derive their authority from the Constitution. Simply put, the Constitution is above SCOTUS.
The Supreme Court can intercede if the process for ratification is not followed, but as long as the agreed upon process is followed there is literally nothing a judge could do.
You’re right about it not going anywhere, but its because Amazon uses USPS as a subcontractor to deliver packages that they can’t deliver reliably. Not because any of the current administration give a shit about the Constitution or what it has to say about the USPS.
It can be systematically deconstructed and defunded until it no longer works and is non-functional and frustrating to use and then that used as an excuse to eliminate it.
No. It’s in our Constitution. It can’t be whisked away unless it is approved through Congress.
You have more confidence than I in the Constitution at this point.
Who said I had confidence?
You said “no”, like the constitution would prevent the end of USPS.
It does, unless Congress changes law in our current system.
I think the states would have to agree to it first, wouldn’t they? Congress can’t unilaterally modify the Constitution (thank Christ).

Don’t challenge him, he will EO it and nobody will challenge it so it will become real.

It can’t be defunded as it’s not funded in the first place.
Brother, than can always drain it even more.
yeah, but convicted felons can’t run for president, yet here we are.
Where in our law does it say they can’t? I don’t like our situation and that it is possible.
Yes they can. There’s no law saying that. Nobody ever thought it would need to become a law.
