The 16th Amendment

The 16^th Amendment – IRS

There is EVIDENCE that the 16th wasn’t approved without editing (changing actual words) by state legislatures. States which changed the wording of the proposed Amendment include: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington &
Wyoming.

Editing, for any purpose, is not allowed at the State level with regard to Constitutional Amendments. This is FACT and even your senator can find that in his rules. Since amending the proposed Amendment (in any way) negates any ‘Constitutional’ adoption of the proposed Amendment, lacking these twenty two (22) states, renders any question of the 16th Amendment as the foundation of any national tax law baseless.

Have your boy review DOCUMENT NO. 97-120, of the 97TH CONGRESS, 1st Session, entitled How Our Laws Are Made, written by Edward F. Willett, Jr. Esq., Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives. This is the authority usually cited for the criticality of ratification without errors of spelling, capitalization, or punctuation in which the comparable exactitude in which bills must be concurred under federal legislative rules is detailed:
• Each amendment must be inserted in precisely the proper place in the bill, with the spelling and punctuation exactly the same as it was adopted by the House. Obviously, it is extremely important that the Senate receive a copy of the bill in the precise form in which it passed the House. The preparation of such a copy is the function of the enrolling clerk. (at 34) (emphasis added)
• When the bill has been agreed to in identical form by both bodies - either without amendment by the Senate, or by House concurrence in the Senate amendments, or by agreement in both bodies to the conference report - a copy of the bill is enrolled for presentation to the President.
• The preparation of the enrolled bill is a painstaking and important task since it must reflect precisely the effect of all amendments, either by deletion, substitution, or addition, agreed to by both bodies. The enrolling clerk ... must prepare meticulously the final form of the bill, as it was agreed to by both Houses, for presentation to the President.... each (amendment) must be set out in the enrollment exactly as agreed to, and all punctuation must be in accord with the action taken. (at 45) (emphasis added)
