Letter: Constitution makes for good reading
Monday, Oct. 12, 1998 | 10:18 a.m.
So many people have come out for the poor victimized president, just as the media has, and now Kenneth Starr is the predator.
I saw the president twice take the oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and defend it from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, and he's ignored it ever since. He has assumed powers that he does not possess. He proposes unconstitutional laws and the Congress usually complies. He supports the unconstitutional armed forces of the executive branch.
He loves the United Nations and supports it. Our Constitution prohibits a treaty with the U.N. because it does not quality as a nation or territory. The president supports foreign aid, not allowed. He is not the commander in chief of the armed forces in peace time.
Please read Article 1, Section 8, clause 12 and Article 2, Section 2, first paragraph of the Constitution. It will enlighten you.
