The Usurper
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He has not upheld the Constitution. He has not preserved or protected anything. He has usurped power that does not belong to the executive branch of our form of government (Republic). Congress stomps their feet, but does absolutely nothing to stop him. After three years, one of which the Republicans controlled the House, why has no one brought impeachment proceedings against the fascist? Why hasn’t he been arrested and charged with treason? I can tell you why… We have a bunch of cowards in Congress who, while whining about the blatant violations of the current POTUS, don’t have the cajones to actually stop him from ripping our Constitution to shreds.
1. Grant reprieves and pardons (except in impeachment cases)
2. Appoint Ambassadors (again with the consent of senate)
3. Appoints public ministers and consuls (with the consent of senate)
4. Can reject or accept the judges of the supreme court (with the consent of senate)
5. Can appoint basically any officer that is ranked below him with the consent of the senate
6. Can fill up vacancies during the recess of the senate
I have seen nothing in the document that states the president force anyone to do anything.
1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (emphasis added)
WE, The People are granted five VERY important freedoms in the First Amendment:
Speech
The First Amendment says that people have the right to speak freely without government interference.
Press
The First Amendment gives the press the right to publish news, information and opinions without government interference. This also means people have the right to publish their own newspapers, newsletters, magazines, etc.
Religion
The First Amendment prohibits government from establishing a religion and protects each person’s right to practice (or not practice) any faith without government interference. (emphasis mine)
Petition
The First Amendment says that people have the right to appeal to government in favor of or against policies that affect them or that they feel strongly about. This freedom includes the right to gather signatures in support of a cause and to lobby legislative bodies for or against legislation.
Assembly
The First Amendment says that people have the right to gather in public to march, protest, demonstrate, carry signs and otherwise express their views in a nonviolent way. It also means people can join and associate with groups and organizations without interference.
Nowhere does it state that the president can force religious organizations to go against their doctrine. Who would you rather answer to, Obama….or God. I choose God!
Accurate Depiction
