Edit: as pointed out in a comment below, the official cause is coding error
Compare with the original, from a few weeks back
Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.
Section 9 had, among other things:
- Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
- a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)
Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.
All they did is edit the copy on the Congressional website, it has no legal authority. The Constitution is still the Constitution.
The only way to make the change actually have merit is to either go through the Amendment process or have another Constitutional Convention and re-write the whole thing…
Which they ARE trying to do BTW:

Thanks, that’s what I misunderstood. I was thinking it was something more.
Or they could write and enforce unconstitutional laws with the complicity of a corrupt SCOTUS. I feel like that’s a possibility.
