What is the premise of Trump’s alleged authorization to intervene in Greenland and Iran?
Well, howdy there internet people it's Bell again. So today. We're going to talk about Trump's authorization to go after Greenland and Iran. So he got a message. And it includes a funny little quirk about the Constitution of the United States. And even if you normally don't care about the US Constitution videos. This one is definitely worth paying attention to. Here's the message. As you lead people screeching, Trump can't do that when it comes to using force in Iran and Greenland. You're just reminding people that liberals don't know the constitution.
How does the host interpret Article 9, Section 13, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution?
Because the people in those countries have asked for Trump's help. He doesn't need approval of anybody. Maybe take a look at Article nine, Section thirteen, clause three of the US Constitution. The Foreign Invitation to Hostilities Clause says that Whensoever a necessary and proper number of persons, belonging to any nation or state, shall make known by petition, address, or other public act, their desire for the aid, protection, or assistance of the United States. Such call shall be deemed a sufficient occasion for action. and in such case, the power to determine the question of peace or war, otherwise committed to the Congress by Article I, Section eight, Clause eleven Shall vest in the executive alone.
And the President may employ the forces of the United States in such a manner and measure as he shall judge proper. For the purpose of answering such calls.
Why does the speaker claim this constitutional clause was removed by a “seventy‑second amendment”?
Without further declaration or assent of the legislature. Now what?
Now what indeed? You got me. Yes. The incredibly important Article nine Section thirteen clause three. See, what you don't know about this is that it was removed by the seventy second amendment. In fact, if you were to look at the text of the Constitution, you won't see it anymore, because it was completely removed. And due to the Ministry of Truth Clause in Article nine, Section Four. All references to it throughout history were removed.
What role does the Tenth Amendment Center’s fake clause play in the discussion?
It's either that or Or you fell for a sarcastic remark put out by the Tenth Amendment Center on january fourteenth. Guys You've got to stop. The people you're making fun of don't know you're making fun of them. Це Somebody made a comment basically saying that if Iranians want Trump to intervene, then Americans should listen. The Tenth Amendment Center made a comment with a fake section of the Constitution. And apparently it was taken as fact by some. Undoubtedly, they thought the joke was obvious, because the US Constitution only has seven articles.
Did Greenland or Iran actually request Trump’s assistance, according to the episode?
So Article Nine was the giveaway. I just want to point back to the part of the message that says quote. You're just reminding people that liberals don't know the constitution. Oh so Greenland never asked for Trump's help. Down below will be a link to a reading of the Constitution. So if you don't want to read it, you can just listen to it. While I find this a little funny and mostly sad, It does show the speed at which even something that was a joke can be taken seriously. Imagine how much more believable bad interpretations of the Constitution are
What broader lessons about misinformation and constitutional limits does the host highlight at the end?
When they're actually intended to deceive you. Rather than poke fun. Understanding the limitations on government power is important. Anyway. It's just a thought y'all have a good day.
