Power of the President

Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992)

Article II

Section. 1.

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

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

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.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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."

A Lame Duck: Donald Trump

45th President

On November 9th 2016, hope had returned. The country I had emigrated to and loved so much, was about to get a second chance, with the election in the position of President of a successful business man, and a non politician.  I thought to my self, maybe, just maybe he can steer our freedom born country into a revival.  I was anxious though. Were they going to allow him to be in office?  Will they start WW3 before he gets in office? Will they create chaos and trigger a Civil War before inauguration? Unlike most, I was worried, thinking that once his inauguration takes place, and he gets in office, the government would start to straighten out.
In the late 70's, early 80's, was when my love for the USA started. It was an amazingly rewarding place. Only imagination was the limit to what one could do or become. Coming from a Socialism prone country, the Liberty I enjoyed was no small feat.

How naive was I.

January 20th 2016

Inauguration day, I thought 'if they don't assassinate him, the sky is the limit'.  Again how naive was I.
The inauguration speech was everything I had expected from this non establishment man. The establishment, sitting behind, two ex-Presidents shook their heads in disbelief of the words being said, by this man that did not need the power of the state to have a successful life. He even paid for his campaign himself, unlike all the others who were bought and paid for before they entered office.
Beyond the inauguration site, riots of the Socialist, Marxist, Globalist paid crowd were ragging. Cars were burned. Widows of stores were broken. Fires were light in the middle of the street.
I thought to myself: 'it will subside with a little time'.  How naive was I.

Fast forward 25 days after inauguration

• The full cabinet hasn't been approved yet.
• 2 cabinet members appointees, withdraw.
• General Flynn accused of......, resigns.
• Obamacare scheduled for 'replacement', but not until August (per Paul Ryan)
• 90 day travel ban of foreign nationals from listed 7 dangerous states rebuked. Organizing vetting process will have to be done while some dangerous people enter the country.
• Canadian prime minister maintains his position regarding entry of refugees on the North American continent.
• George Soros organised protests worldwide.
• In UK, people bet on how long until the new President is impeached, some bet 6 months.
• EU TV stations broadcast erroneous slander on the new American President.
• The GOP renders light support to the new President.
• The minority party attempts to block anything.
• MSM broadcasts mostly the negative aspect of this new Presidency.
• The Deep State is obviously at work for the status-quo.
• Another word for Deep State is Shadow Government.
• Some say Obama is back in DC.
• All agencies are probably out to get him. CIA keeps feeding him their agenda.
• Fixing relations with Russia now a thing of the past.
• MSM pounds 'information' about Russia's aggression.

Not naive anymore

The shadow government is in total control of all agencies.

It's too late.

President Trump was a lame duck even before he took office.

WE no longer have a form of government designed by the founders.

WE are in an Oligarchy, and WE don't even know who RULE us.

Every single thing done to revive 'the Republic' will be thwarted, by those in the shadows, supported by the majority mob comprised of Socialists, Marxists, Globalists minded people.

WE'd better realize, that our elected President is alone in DC, against an all Globalist and Elitist government, that can't wait for our relegation to 2nd world country (on the way to 3rd world) to grab control and make the NWO and one world government the thing of the future.

Is it too late?
The road to reestablish the Constitutional Republic of the People for the People may be VERY long and hard fought.

The Wall

By J.P.

"Sent to McMurdo research station in August of 1998.
When we weren't busy de-icing the aircraft and working on them, we had time to hang out with the scientists at the research station.

The military unit attached to McMurdo was small and we didn't have our own separate facilities. We didn't have a PX, or a media center. There was no chapel or Chaplin. And we didn't have or our own separate mail room. We just had to share the same facilities with the scientists and researchers. So over time I got to be friends with a few of them.

They had two different kinds of ice that they worked on and studied. One kind of ice was the normal kind that we've all seen. They took cores of it out of bore holes in the ground. Just like normal ice it was mostly clear or sometimes white, and it would melt into liquid water if it got warm. The whole area of Antarctica is covered in this kind of ice. But that wasn't their main kind of ice. The only time I ever saw them actually studying normal ice was when a film crew from National Geographic came by.

The rest of the time, which was most of the time, the scientists were studying something they called sky ice.

This stuff was totally different.

We were never allowed to go into the laboratory areas of the station, because the labs had to be kept super clean and they said it would mess up their work if they risked letting too many people in the lab. But one time one of the researchers that I was friends with showed me a piece of sky ice. You couldn't touch the stuff with your bare hands because it was so cold.

And it wasn't clear or white like normal ice. It was solid blue. He said that's why they call it sky ice, because it was the exact same color as the sky.

We had to wear our thick heavy "going outside" gloves to handle it. The stuff was so cold it would instantly freeze your skin if you touched it. I don't remember what temperature he said it was. But it was something like hundreds of degrees below zero. WAY colder than the normal ice that was outside.

He had to carry it in a metal bottle that was kinda like a thermos. He let me play with a piece of it for a while. It felt lighter than a piece of normal ice of the same size, like it wasn't very heavy at all. It almost felt like you could throw it up in the air and it would just float back down, but I didn't try that. And it was also a little flexible when I tried to bend it. It didn't break like normal ice would. And even for a small piece, you couldn't see through it. It was solid blue right from the surface.

And here's the really weird part. It didn't melt into water. When it got warm, because we had it inside, it just started to shrink. It got smaller and smaller, but my glove never got wet. And there was no water on the floor. The stuff just turned into thin air when it got warm, and vaporized.

He said that was the reason why they had to study the stuff right there in Antarctica. You couldn't take sky ice back to America to study it, because it was almost impossible to keep it cold enough during transit. It would always vaporize into air and you'd have nothing left when you got back to the US. He said Russian scientists had discovered the same problem when they tried to take sky ice back to Russia. So that was why they all had research stations in Antarctica.

After maybe 15 minutes of handling the piece of sky ice, it was almost completely gone. Just a tiny little bit was left. And my glove was dry the whole time.

I'd never seen anything like it before or since. And that's unusual because I've always had an interest in scientific things. I think that's even why I got selected to go to Antarctica, because a big part of the interview was about science and what I believed about things. So I really thought it was cool to see something I'd never heard of before.

The whole time I was at McMurdo I heard people talk about "the wall" like that was a special place. It's pretty common to find ice walls and ice cliffs all over Antarctica. The whole place is ice. But it's all just normal white or clear ice, so I asked my friend where they get the sky ice from, and he said it comes from "the wall".

I don't remember exactly how he described it, but apparently there's a huge wall of sky ice in Antarctica. He said it was hundreds of miles inland from the coast. I never got to see it myself because I was only stationed to McMurdo. I didn't get to go out on expeditions. He said it was the biggest natural structure in the world.

He said that in the 1960's the US Army had a plan to bore a tunnel into the wall. But they didn't have a boring machine that could handle super cold temperatures. So they had a whole testing project in Greenland where they developed ice tunnels and invented new boring machines that could operate in super cold temperatures. Like they did this whole big thing in Greenland just for practice. I'm not an expert on that but that's just what he told me. Then once they had the new boring machine figured out, they brought it to the wall in Antarctica.

He said that the machine bored a tunnel, I don't remember exactly, like 5 or 10 miles into the wall, but that they never broke through the other side of the wall, and that they still don't know how thick the wall is even to this day.
And I'm probably not remembering this part correctly, but I think he said that at first, the floor of the tunnel was solid rock, but after a mile or two in, the floor was sky ice. Like it was sky ice underneath after a certain point. Or something like that.

And apparently the wall slowly builds itself back up after you cut it, because after a year or so, the tunnel had shrunk smaller all by itself. They had to leave the boring machine inside the wall because the tunnel shrunk too small to get it back out. And after a few decades the tunnel was completely gone.

Like, that part of the wall was solid again.

He said that now the scientists were trying to use technology to figure out how thick the wall is. He said something about putting earthquake sensors all along the wall, and that somehow you could measure the signal from an earthquake to see how thick the wall is, but he kinda lost me on that part.

I never really thought about any of that after I left. It was really weird stuff, but I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. But then a few weeks ago I saw a map of the wall in Antarctica. Except the map was all flat and crazy looking, and it showed the wall going all the way up over the whole earth.

So since then I've been trying to learn more about the sky ice that I saw, and the wall that I heard about, but I can't find anything at all."
