A constitutional law expert claims that it will take decades to learn constitutional law.  By focusing on all the numbers and dates of the Constitution of September 17, 1787, I have reduced learning time to a few hours.   You can become a constitutional law expert by enrolling in my Basic Course in Law and Government.   

Before July 4, 1776, in America practically everyone except the Indians were British subjects.  On July 4, 1776 the United States of America was born and the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 was its birth certificate.  Almost immediately, work began on an instrument that would unite thirteen free and independent states into one perpetual Union.  The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 was the instrument that united all thirteen States on March 1, 1781.

Between July 4, 1776 and March 1, 1781 an American could only legitimately claim State citizenship in one of the thirteen States.  After March 1, 1781, a person could claim all the privileges and immunities of a citizen of a State as a free inhabitant without being a citizen or a person could claim to be a Citizen of the United States.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 formally recognized the status of Citizen of the United States, when New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify and, thus, establish that Constitution.   The elections of Representatives and Senators were set, however, it would be impossible for any Senator to meet the Constitution’s nine Years a Citizen of the United States requirement until after March 1, 1790.  Newly elected Senators would still qualify as delegates under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and the nine States could function as the Committee of States under Article IX and X of the Articles of Confederation.

When the first Congress convenes on March 4, 1789 in New York City none of the Senators qualified to take the Article VI oath, so the preparation of a legislative oath was the first order of business.  This is how the Constitution of September 17, 1787 became the Constitution of the United States, which George Washington swore to “preserve, protect and defend.”  The Constitution of the United States covered a territory that amounted to the lands owned by the United States of America.  To learn more about what constitutes the United States and how to enroll contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Every word and every number in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is a clue to understanding that

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 required of the first Members of the House of Representatives that: “No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.”

 The Constitution of September 17, 1787 required this of Senators: “No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.”

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 required this of persons who would fill the Office of President:     “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

These three clauses intended the creation of a republic out of the Confederacy, the United States of America, by requiring the candidates to these Offices to declare themselves to be Citizens of the United States of America.   The first Citizens of the United States of America would be the members of the First Congress and the first person elected to the office of President of the United States of America, who would take the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”

The Confederacy, to be known as the United States of America, begins on March 1, 1781, when Maryland becomes the thirteenth State to ratify the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The United States of America never becomes a republic, because no Senator would qualify to be a Senator under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 until after March 1, 1790.  The First Congress is elected too early for any of the Senators to qualify to take the Article VI oath, so a legislative oath is created in its place.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is a complex concoction of inconsistencies that has taken a lifetime to unravel.  Fortunately, by enrolling in my Basic Course in Law and Government you can begin to truly understand “this Constitution” and much more in just a few hours.  To enroll, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

“This Constitution” is the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which was produced in secret sessions in Philadelphia beginning on May 25, 1787.

The Preamble, which is not an official part of “this Constitution” states that “this Constitution” is for the United States of America.  There are two United States of America: one of the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the other of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.

Incompetent historians and an unscrupulous legal profession have perpetuated government propaganda that alleges the Constitution of September 17, 1787 replaced the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the second of the Organic Laws of the United States of America, which established the perpetual Union of the thirteen States that had signed the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the first Organic Law.

Proof that the Constitution of September 17, 1787 neither replaced nor repealed the Articles of Confederation is found at the conclusion of the third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  At the end of the Ordinance, can be found the language of repeal, nullity and the voiding of the prior ordinance, the Resolution of April 23, 1784.  The absence of similar language in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 proves the Constitutional Convention consisting of many men trained in law never considered repeal of the Articles of Confederation.

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 established a temporary government for the Northwest Territory, which was replaced by a permanent one to be found in Article I of the Constitution of September 17, 1787. On April 30, 1789, George Washington took the oral oath of office of the President of the United States making him both President of the United States of America and President of the United States.

The secrecy by which the Constitution of September 17, 1787 was created permitted Washington to pretend the office of President of the United States was bound by law “to support this Constitution.”  The only oath of office Washington ever took was to “”preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” which would only apply to the Northwest Territory and any others lands and property belonging to the United States of America.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 became the Constitution for the United States of America, when nine States ratified “this Constitution.”  When George Washington took the oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” he accepted the employment of  administering the lands and other property belonging to the United States of America.

There is an Article I Section 7 office of President of the United States and there is an Article II Section 1 office of President of the United States of America.  George Washington was elected President of the United States of America on February 4, 1789 and took the oral oath of office of President of the United States on April 30, 1789.

To fill the office of President, George Washington had to be fourteen years a resident within the United States.  All federal official counts are taken from July 4, 1776.  No person could qualify to fill the Office of President until after July 4, 1790 and no President Elect has ever filled that office.

The President of the United States of America is not required to take any oath under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and the President of the United States takes an oral oath to gain his office.

Any person who is to fill the Office of President under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 must take the Article VI written oath “to support this Constitution” by subscribing his name to that oath.

The only way to learn the historical, legal and political consequences of not filling the Office of President is to enroll in my Basic Course in Law and Government.  E-mail me at edrivera@edrivera.com to become one of my Students and a legal genius upon graduation.

Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera       

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 makes provision for three oaths.  Senators when sitting in trial of an impeachment shall be under oath or affirmation.  The Constitution does not provide the wording for that oath, but it does for the oath of office of President of the United States.

The Constitution by artful misdirection does not require a written subscribed oath to be taken by the President of the United States, by setting out in Article II Section 1 Clause 8 the exact oral oath to be taken by the President of the United States.  The President of the United States takes but is not bound by an oral oath or affirmation.

Article VI Clause 3 requires all members of Congress and of the several State legislatures and all executive and judicial officers of the United States and the several States to be bound by oath or affirmation to support this Constitution, which means the oaths are to be written and subscribed.

The first act of the First Congress is to create by legislation a written oath, but instead of supporting the Constitution of September 17, 1787 the oath a different constitution, the Constitution of the United States.

By now, you should have learned that George Washington took over what is known as the Government of the United States, by taking an oral oath with his fingers crossed.  Such an oath was good enough for government employment type work, but it prevented the establishment of a real government actually bound by the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

The oral oath George Washington took on April 30, 1789 is the same one all the other 43 Presidents have taken:

“I, George Washington, do solemnly swear 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.” “So help me God.”

Taking the Article II Section 1 Clause 8 oath means none of the Presidents have taken the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution,” the written Constitution of September 17, 1787, which means the “Constitution of the United States” is not originally a written one. 

What is the “Constitution of the United States”?  Article VII of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 provides that when nine States ratify “this Constitution” that Constitution is established “between the States so ratifying the Same,” which means everything in the Constitution that can be confirmed by those States is ratified.  The ratifying States verified the power of the Government of the United States to make law and tax in the State Lands owned by the United States of America.  The States, however, cannot confirm a government of a Congress and Presidents, because Article VI oaths are required from the persons in those offices and no one in “government” takes that oath.        

This is the test: how much of what is written above do you understand?  I expect everyone of my enrolled Students to respond to this test all others will be entitled to a 10% discount on tuition for any coherent answer.  Send your answers to edrivera@edrivera.com

A constitution is made of words, which many be very common such as “a,” “the,” “this,” and “all.”  The combination of simple words with the more complex words of any constitution will present us with complete English sentences, which can be subjected to grammatical analysis to discern their meaning.

How would a scientist examine the phenomenon of the Constitution of the United States and constitutional law?  Any scientist would use the scientific method to answer any question about the  Constitution or this Constitution.

Let’s take some known facts about this Constitution, which can be called observations and see if we can reach a scientific conclusion.  It is a provable fact that this Constitution expressly provides the exact oath to be taken by only one Officer: the President of the United States.  Another fact: George Washington was the first person elected to the Office of President of the United States of America, which is vested with the executive power in Article II Section 1 Clause 1.  On April 30, 1789 George Washington set the precedent for all future Presidents of the United States of America of taking orally the oath of Office of at President of the United States: “I, George Washington, do solemnly swear 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.” “So help me God.”

How can we prove the hypothesis that the Office of President of the United States of America and the Office of President of the United States are separate offices?  Article I Section 7 of this Constitution describes the duties of the Office of President of the United States as legislative and Article I Section 1 vests all legislative Powers in a Congress of the United States. 

While we may not have proven here absolutely that these two Offices of President are executive and legislative, the value of the scientific method has been demonstrated. Countless observations remain to be made by my Students, to get in on the fun, you need to enroll in my Basic Course in Law and Government and to do that you must contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

There are three Constitutions and three Offices of President.  There is a Constitution for the United States of America and a President of the United States of America.  There is a Constitution of the United States and a President of the United States.  And last, there is a Constitution of the United States of America and an Office of President.

The Constitution of the United States of America has not been adopted because the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President has not been filled:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

George Washington the first person elected President of the United States of America, on February 4, 1789, according to the Constitution for the United States of America, wasn’t a natural born Citizen and couldn’t meet the “fourteen Years a Resident within the United States” requirement of the Constitution of the United States of America until after July 4, 1790.  Without a person who can take the Article VI oath to be bound “to support this Constitution,” there is no government bound by any constitutional  oath.

If all these Presidents and Constitutions are confusing, enrolling as a Student in my Basic Course in Law and Government will help you sort them out.  Contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com to get started.

The Senate of Section 101 of Title 1 General Provisions is one of the possible two Senates that could have been “a Senate” of “a Congress of the United States.”  The Senate in Section 101 of Title 1 is not bound by a written oath “to support this Constitution,” meaning a written Constitution.  He or she is bound to one consisting of all the lands owned by the United States of America in all the States.

The first Senators were elected after the State of New Hampshire, on June 21, 1788, became the ninth State to ratify the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  Note well that the States ratify the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and not the Constitution of the United States.  The difference between the Senators in the enacting clause and the Senators in Article I Section 1 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is the kind of oath they take and that oath makes the difference between freedom and servitude.

The first Senators elected to the first Senate of the First Congress were not the first State delegates of the United States of America in Congress assembled.  They were the first to take an oath to support a Constitution of the United States, because none of them would qualify to be Article I Section 1 Senators until after March 1, 1790.

The first Senators never qualified under the Constitution of September 17, 1787, so they followed George Washington’s lead and swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States.  Together with Representatives these members of the newly created legislative branch make laws for the lands owned by the United States of America.

Every State of the 50 State Union has two Senators, who can confirm the limitation of federal lawmaking power to the lands owned by the United States of America, but you have to be prepared to present your case for your freedom.  My Basic Course in Law and Government is the only one that trains the Student to teach the Congress its limitations.  To enroll, so you can learn to be free, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The President of the United States looks like the head man, but the Constitution makes the President of the United States of America the one with the executive power.  That executive power is not derived from the Constitution of September 17, 1787 it comes from the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777. 

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 looks like a contract, because the President of the United States agrees to work for the United States of America, when he takes the oral oath of Office of President of the United States in Article II Section 1 Clause 8.  When he takes that oath, everything that precedes it is part of his employment contract.

Once the elected President of the United States of America takes the oral oath of Office of the President of the United States, what precedes that oath is the only part of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 that is relevant to the President of the United States and his administration of the United States.

The States of the new second Union of the United States have ratified the entire Constitution of September 17, 1787 and all the Amendments thereto, that ratification only establishes the Constitution of September 17, 1787 between the States so ratifying and does not bind the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President or the Congress of the United States.
