“The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness.”
The parties who brought their dispute to this Supreme Court did by their actions agree to abide by that court’s opinion. That court’s claims do not impose a tax even on the parties to the litigation.
All laws and all taxes must be traced back to one or more Organic Laws of the United States of America to determine its validity and scope of the tax or law. Chief Justice Roberts traced the financial penalty back to the Constitution, however, a penalty is actually a government charge which is a product of the exercise of the general police power which goes back to the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.
The Northwest Ordinance is both the source of the federal power to tax and the police power. The federal police power and the power to tax are limited to the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.
The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 made that territory other territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America forever a part of the Confederacy, the United States of America, provided the United States of America retained a proprietary interest in the land .
All the Obamacare taxes are only applicable where the United States of America has retained the general police power by retaining the proprietary power.
The Organic Laws of the United States of America are studied in my Basic Course in Law and Government, which can be taken on a trial basis for as little as $50. Completion of the Basic Course qualifies the Student for the Advanced Tax Course. Contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com for information about both.

Chief Justice Roberts not Chief Judge Roberts cast the deciding vote on the legislative constitutionality of Obamacare.
The office of Chief Justice is described in Article I Section 3 Clause 6: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the Members present
Article I Section 3 Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States: “The House of Representatives shall chuse their speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”
The language of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is clear with respect to the Chief Justice’s impeachment duties. Any other duties, which might be imposed on that office by Congress, would also be legislative.
Still not convinced Chief Justice John Roberts is of the legislative branch? Then read the final paragraph of Article I Section 3 Clause 7: “Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to law.” There is nothing judicial about impeachment; it is a legislative trial.
The Constitution of September 17, 1787, “this Constitution,” the one, which was first ratified by nine States on June 21, 1788, and established between those States and then all thirteen States, when Rhode Island ratified it on May 29, 1790, has not been adopted by a President of the United States of America, who has taken and subscribed the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.” The unadopted Constitution of September 17, 1787 is binding on the States, which elect a President of the United States of America and Representatives and Senators.
George Washington, the first President of the United States of America to be elected by Presidential Electors, takes the oral oath of office to the Office of President of the United States and together with the newly elected Congress of the United States begins to create legislative duties for the Chief Justice and other employees of the United States which have ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787.
Every two years a new House of Representatives is elected and every four years the process George Washington initiated is repeated.
The legislation dated September 23, 1789 establishing the yearly compensation for the office of Chief Justice set no length on the term of that office and neither did the Judiciary Act of 1789 dated September 24th which determined in Section 1 that the Supreme Court of the United States “shall consist of a chief justice and five associate justices,” but did not indicate any definite term of office.
The States of the Confederacy, the United States of America are bound by the Constitution of September 17, 1787, but not the Chief Justice or President of the United States they are free to pretend to act, as if they are individually, the heads of the judicial and executive branches of a real government.
A real judge not connected at the hip to the federal legislative branch would not contort Obamacare to fit the unadopted Constitution of September 17, 1787. Chief Justice Roberts has admitted his bias in favor of the legislative branch and I have proven the Chief Justice’s legislative origin using provisions of the Constitution.

Everyone knows Congress doesn’t work. Everyone knows and Congress admits it doesn’t read the federal laws it enacts and wouldn’t understand those laws if it did read them.
Congress is dysfunctional because it is using only 25% of the Organic Laws of the United States of America intended to guide it in its operations.
The four Organic Laws consist of the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the Constitution of September 17, 1787. Congress operates as if only the Constitution is valid law.
Congress ignores the Declaration of Independence because that revered document lists the tyrannies of governments Congress regularly commits. Congress refuses to recognize the right and duty of the people to throw off any government which commits such abuses.
Congress ignores the Articles of Confederation because it can claim the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 were replaced by the Constitution of the United States. Congress is right. The Articles of Confederation is law for free people and the people on federal territory are not free.
Congress ignores the Northwest Ordinance because everyone except my Students ignores the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787. Only my Students know there is an Organic Law called the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.
Congress embraces the Constitution of the United States, as if, it supplies all the answers to all problems governmental and political in America. Congress, the Presidents, the federal courts and practically all of the American people believe all the hype that has been heaped upon a document which suffers from a multiple personality disorder. There is the Constitution which was ratified and established by the States of the United States of America to form a different and separate Union. Then there is the Constitution in which a President of the United States takes an oral oath or affirmation to “preserve, protect and defend.” Finally, there is a Constitution which requires, in accordance with Article VI Clause 3 of “this Constitution,” a written subscribed oath or affirmation “to support this Constitution.”
None of these three Constitutions contain any mention of the doctrines of the “balance of power” or “checks and balances,” Congress, however, imagines they exists so it can blithely enact Obamacare without thought of any written law restraints.
Congress knows no bounds, but, you can easily learn how Congress is limited to taxation and legislation within the United States, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. You can learn that and more when you enroll on a trial basis in my Basic Course in Law and Government for as little as $50, to get the details, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

My Course is very simple it teaches law comes in two forms written and unwritten. In America, all written law, local, State, and federal is made to apply within the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. All problems with law and government stem from the misapplication of written law.
All law schools, except mine, teach by the case method. The Law is determined by judges in “cases or controversies” voluntarily presented to these judges by litigants. Even criminal cases are included in this voluntary process because so few know the truth about the origin of written law.
The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 is the origin of the written law in America. On February 21, 1787, the Confederation Congress under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 convened the secret May 25, 1787 Constitutional Convention for the express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution of September 17, 1787 revises the Articles of Confederation to permit the efficient administration of the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America, which was at that time the Northwest Territory.
The States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota, which made up the Northwest Territory were essentially admitted into the Confederacy created by the Articles of Confederation on July 13, 1787, by an act of the Confederation Congress, described as an ordinance.
All Americans are taught the fallacious contention that the Confederation Congress had no power to tax or make laws, yet we see in the Northwest Ordinance the exercise of both those powers. The Confederation Congress had the power to tax and rule by lawmaking, because all proprietors have those powers over what they own. Americans are not owned or possessed they are not serfs, however, the two Lessons: Coloring the Presidents in the Constitution and George Washington Jailer and Tax Collector show how George Washington was able to take what Congress and the Constitutional Convention created to form what has become the Presidential Dictator’s Administration.
Everyone who completes my Basic Course in Law and Government can claim legal genius status simply by recognizing the three Offices of President, the President of the United States of America, the President of the United States and the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECIDES OBAMACARE IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
That headline is possible because what you believe about the United States, the Supreme Court and the Constitution is almost all wrong.
To know what is wrong, a person should be able to figure out what is right, however, when the law is involved a division between written law and unwritten law must be made. Unwritten law, the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” of the Declaration of Independence is always right and the written law always contains some defect.
Fortunately, American history provides a set of documents which separate written and unwritten law those documents are the Organic Laws of the United States of America. In the order of their creation the Organic Laws are: the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787.
The Declaration of Independence proclaims the equality of men possessing “unalienable rights” both equality and “unalienable rights” are a function of unwritten law and are the components of freedom.
The function of government to secure freedom for the individual is the purview of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, particularly Article IV of the Articles of Confederation.
The third and fourth Organic Laws are the source of written law for government in all of America. The third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 made that land part of the Confederacy, established a temporary government for the Northwest Territory and put the Congress of the United States of America in charge of that temporary government.
The fourth and last Organic Law is the Constitution of September 17, 1787. This Organic Law revises the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 to permit a permanent and more efficient administration by the same Congress, now named the Congress of the United States , of the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America, which includes the land of the Northwest Territory and all similar land or property.
The United States Congress can make laws for the United States without regard to the freedom proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, because it is making law for the administration of people on the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.
Obamacare was law made for the people of the United States, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. Democratic ideals makes it possible for tens of millions to populate federal lands just by registering to vote. Obamacare’s Individual Mandate is permissible because no one has a right to be on federal lands.
An understanding of written law requires the law student to observe a strict separation of unwritten law and written law. Matters of fairness, humanity and justice are irrelevant in written law.

President Barack Hussein Obama’s assertion of executive privilege with respect to a committee of Congresses’ subpoena for documents provides us with an opportunity to examine the two active Offices of President: President of the United States of America and President of the United States.
Article II Section 1 Clause 1 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 vests the executive power in a President of the United States of America: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows”
Article I Section 7 of that same Constitution imposes a duty on the President of the United States to sign those Bills which he approves and to make his objections to those Bills to which he has objections. The first President, George Washington, who became President of the United States of America on April 6, 1789, without taking any oath of office, became President of the United States just by taking the oral oath for that office on April 30, 1789.
A claim of executive privilege is not possible as to every document produced by the administration of the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America by the President of the United States. Executive privilege is limited to the most critical powers found in the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.
Pay close attention to the media coverage of Fast and Furious and you will see the proof of the current validity and vitality of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.
To understand the importance of the Articles of Confederation and the other three Organic Laws, the Declaration of Independence, Northwest Ordinance and Constitution, enroll in the only law course that teaches both written and unwritten law, my “Basic Course in Law and Government.” For more information contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

WHAT’S SO ORGANIC ABOUT THE ORGANIC LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Organic is good because it is unadulterated. The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the Constitution of September 17, 1787 are the components of American written law in its purest form.
Before the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution, Americans were ruled by Parliament and a British monarch. The Confederacy formed by the Articles of Confederation upon the ratification of Maryland on March 1, 1781 beat the British, Imperial Germany and Nazi Germany because the Articles were not replaced by the Constitution of September 17, 1787.
The perpetual Union created by the Articles of Confederation began making laws and taxing years before March 4, 1789. In the last sentence of the third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, the Confederation Congress repealed and declared null and void the laws it made on April 23, 1784.
In the Constitution of September 17, 1787, the last of the Organic Laws of the United States of America, the secret Constitutional Convention revised the Articles of Confederation, to among other things, create the executive office of President of the United States of America and named the successor organization to the Confederation Congress the Senate.
On March 4, 1789, the Confederacy met in secret as the United States Senate and the House of Representatives met in public, in New York City. The rumor was immediately, begun that the simultaneous meeting of the Senate and House of Representatives replaced the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 with the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and that rumor has persisted to this day.

RATIFICATION, ESTABLISHMENT AND ADOPTION “OF THIS CONSTITUTION”
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
My Students, generally, do not quibble about the meanings of the words: ratify and establish, the root words of “ratification and establishment.” Article VII of “this Constitution” provides clear definitions for ratification and establishment: “The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.”
Some of my Students fail to see the connection between the taking and subscription of the Article VI oath and the adoption of the Constitution of September 17, 1787. “Adoption” in the context of the ratification and establishment of “this Constitution” means to take up voluntarily and practice or use as one’s own. The Preamble ordained and established “this Constitution for the United States of America,” which meant it was ready for the use of the States once it was ratified by nine States. Taking and subscribing the Article VI oath made that Constitution ready to be taken up by the President and Congress.
Adoption must follow ratification and establishment, because one cannot adopt something which does not exist. That limitation, however, does not apply to the thirteen States, as twelve of those States sent delegates to the Constitutional Convention of May 25, 1787, who subscribed their names to the Constitution of September 17, 1787. Formal ratification and establishment of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 in conformity with Article VII took place on June 21, 1788, when New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify that Constitution.
Ratification and Establishment was the procedure by which the States adopted the Constitution of September 17, 1787. Adoption for the new government under the authority of “this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787 was prescribed in Article VI Clause 3: ‘The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
What would it take for all those Officers mentioned in Article VI to “be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution”? Each Representative, every Senator and George Washington would have to attach to a copy of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 a piece of paper with the words: “I support this Constitution” and subscribe their signature.
George Washington was an executive Officer by virtue of his election to the Office of President of the United States of America on April 6, 1789. The oral oath of Office of President of the United States Washington took on April 30, 1789 would not satisfy Article VI, because the only oral oath that is binding is the testamentary oral oath to tell the truth. The April 30, 1789 oral oath of Office of President of the United States was intended by Washington and the Framers of the Constitution to be mistaken for an Article VI oath and history has shown it to be so mistaken.
The Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President requires that any person who fills that Office must be “fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.” Fourteen Years from July 4, 1776, the birth date of the United States would be July 4, 1790. The Office of President under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 could not be filled until after July 4, 1790. That Office has been vacant since the ratification and establishment of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and that Constitution has never been adopted by a Congress or President.
It is not possible to understand the Constitution without knowing the secrets locked within it. My “Basic Course in Law and Government” is the only one that reveals these constitutional secrets to the novice law student. For more information on the Course, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

WHERE IS THE SUPREME COURT SUPREME?
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is a result of the February 21, 1787 resolution in the Confederation Congress which set up the Constitutional Convention. That Resolution caused 11 State delegates to be sent to Constitutional Convention to Philadelphia to meet in secret beginning on May 25, 1787 to revise the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777. In the words of the Resolution the delegates to the Constitutional Convention were to address “the inefficiency of the federal government and the necessity of devising such farther provisions as shall render the same adequate to the exigencies of the Union.”
Article III, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 vests the judicial power of the United States in “one supreme court” and “in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” The Officers of the “one supreme court” and the “inferior Courts” are specifically identified as “Judges.”
The “one supreme court” of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 might have been ordained and established, if that Constitution had been adopted by a Congress and a President. Article VII of that Constitution effectively defined ratification by nine States as “establishment.” Examples of “ordination and establishment” are found in three of the Organic Laws of the United States of America, but not in the Articles of Confederation. There is no pledging of sacred honor as there is in the Declaration of Independence or oath taking to the establishment of government and support of the document which constitutes such a government.
Failing an adoption by binding Article VI oaths, the Constitution of September 17, 1787 became the Constitution of the United States, when George Washington took the oral oath of Office of the President of the United States. Washington took no other public oaths.
The Office of the Chief Justice, whose only duty is the legislative task of presiding at the impeachment of the President of the United States, is not ordained or established; it is legislated into existence along with the Associate Justices in Section 1 of Chapter XVIII of volume of the Statutes at Large, on September 23, 1789.
Because we know Washington was vested with “the executive power” of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, when he became President of the United States of America on April 6, 1789, we should be able to surmise how he and every President since has had the power to appoint a Chief Justice and Associate Justices as those Offices created and vacated. The United States Supreme Court is the supreme legislative court in the United States, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.
The Supreme Court which was the subject of Section 1 of Chapter XX of volume 1 of the Statutes at Large on September 24, 1789, was created by legislative authority of the United States of America derived from proprietary over the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America, after the creation of the offices of Chief Justice and Associate Justices. The creation of that Supreme Court followed the legislative creation of the offices of Chief Justice and Associate Justice. Washington appointed all the members of the Supreme Court on September 24, 1789.
The facts of a limited government are part of the history of America. The only access to that history is my “Basic Course in Law and Government,” which you can sample for $50. For all the details, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Connecting the Organic Law dots: the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the Constitution of September 17, 1787
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Dear Candidate for the House of Representatives:
The first Organic Law, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, the fourth and last Organic Law have little or no connection.
The Declaration of Independence initiated America’s independence from foreign government control. Great Britain still had to be defeated by force, nevertheless, July 4, 1776 is the official birthday of the nation which was soon to be known to the world as the United States of America. Although Americans start to live in the declared free thirteen United States they aren’t officially united until Maryland becomes the thirteenth State to ratify the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, on March 1, 1781. These two documents, the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation, form the basis of limited government in America they are connected—they are joined at the hip. An American must consent before he is governed, and the States of the Union must, as a condition of membership in the “perpetual union,” agree not to discriminate against free inhabitants, who do not consent to be governed.
The third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, provides a temporary government for Americans on government land, who will have no choice, but to submit to a national government consisting of a super majority of the States of the Confederacy. For a while, Americans on the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America have a choice: stay on government land and be governed or leave. Within weeks it won’t make a difference whether or not a person is on government land or not.
The ratification of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 removes the option of leaving the government’s land. When George Washington, who has just been declared President of the United States of America in Congress, on April 6, 1789, takes the oral oath of Office of President of the United States, he effectively crowns himself the American Dictator. By combining the two Offices of President of the United States of America and President of the United States, Washington succeeds King George III as tyrant in America.
The confused American public perceives the “United States” as the unification of the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the continental United States of America. George Washington’s merger of the President of the United States of America into the President of the United States allows the newly formed political class to pass off the Constitution of the United States, created out of the oral oath of Office of the President of the United States, as the supreme law of their land as well as the lands belonging to the United States of America.
The Constitution of the United States, which was officially brought forth on the whispered breath of George Washington, very slowly added substance by the amendment process. That amendment process had no impact on a Congress, which took no Article VI oath to be bound by “this Constitution.” The Constitution of September 17, 1787 revised the Articles of Confederation, but it could not and did not replace the Articles of Confederation.
The historical record confirms the Constitution of September 17, 1787 could not be adopted until fourteen years would pass after the date of the Declaration of Independence. This is the only early connection between the first and last Organic Laws. No person in the Office of President could take the Article VI oath that would adopt the Constitution of September 17, 1787 until after July 4, 1790.
By July 4, 1790, Washington was comfortably in his two Offices, President of the United States of America and President of the United States, taking and subscribing the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution” to secure a third Presidency, the Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 Office of President, was never part of Washington’s bloodless coup. The 14 year residency requirement did provide Washington a handy excuse for not subscribing the Article VI oath.
George Washington’s taking of the oral oath of Office of President of the United States was the end of the Declaration of Independence’s government by the consent of the governed. After April 30, 1789, the President of the United States considered every free inhabitant a Citizen of the United States subject to its jurisdiction and the Articles of Confederation were replaced by the Constitution of the United States.
I am submitting this document to establish my bona fides as a political dissident.
Your name
