   Here is what Trump deleted from the United States Constitution this morning:

   A thread.

     in reply to

     Article 1, Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

     "No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."

     Without this sentence, MAGA Congress can levy export taxes on individual states within the US.

     For instance, they could levy an export tariff on all goods exported from California to any of the other 49 states of America. It essentially allows them to treat individual states like foreign countries.

     Article 1, Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

     "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken."

     Without this sentence, MAGA Congress can levy "headcount" taxes for simply existing.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.

     in reply to

     Article 1, Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

     "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."

     Without this sentence, MAGA Congress can now simply declare a person guilty of any crime and impose sentencing without a trial.

     In addition, MAGA Congress can now punish you for crime committed before a law was passed making it illegal.

     For instance, they could declare homosexuality illegal today, and imprison you tomorrow without a trial, for kissing your girlfriend yesterday.

     in reply to

     Article 1, Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

     "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

     Without this paragraph, MAGA Congress can declare martial law for any reason at any time. They can imprison anyone at any time for any reason, or for no reason at all. Courts are no longer required to present you or anyone with the reason you are imprisoned.

     in reply to

     Article 1, Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

     "The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person."

     Without this paragraph, MAGA Congresspeople can simply deport anyone they want to, and prohibit immigration of anyone they want to, for any reason, and ignore judicial orders to the contrary.

     @Lana Loss of this paragraph? Was there a Constitutional amendment passed that I missed?

     in reply to

     Article 1, Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

     "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."

     The loss of this paragraph effectively disbands congressional appropriations committees, allowing Congress to draw money directly from the Treasury without saying what they're using it for or providing a written account of their spending.

     For instance, any individual MAGA Congressperson could just withdraw $100b dollars from the US Treasury and spend it on funding a secret police in their state and building secret concentration camps in their state and there would be no paper trail of their actions whatsoever.

     Article 1, Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

     "No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another."

     Without this paragraph, MAGA Congress can now set different tariff rates for the same goods imported to the US but through different ports of entry.

     For example, they could say all Chinese goods imported to America through Corpus Christi, TX are tariffed at 0%, but Chinese goods imported to America through Los Angeles must pay a 500% tariff.

     @Lana this entire thread is misinformation because the actual Constitution was not amended.
