JANUARY 6, 2021 AND THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, both Houses of the Congress of the United States met in joint session, according to Title 3 of United States Code Section 15, and the 12th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The purpose of the joint session of Congress was to count the votes of the Electors for President and Vice President of the United States of America.
The vesting of the executive power, duties, and qualifications and specific powers of the Office of the President of the United States of America is stated in Article II of the Constitution.
Careful reading of Article I of the Constitution of the United States discloses the Office of President of the United States with duties described in Section 7, of that Article.
The Library of Congress is the largest in the world, so we would expect that its Analysis and interpretation of the United States Constitution would acknowledge the existence of two separate offices of President of the United States and President of the United States of America. However, the following statement from its website equates the President of the United States of America and the President of the United States:
THE CONSTITUTION ANNOTATED
Analysis and interpretation of the U.S. Constitution
Article II, Section 1, Clause 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:
Under Article II, Section 1, Clause 1, the executive power is vested in a single person—the President of the United States. The nature and extent of the executive power is less clear.
Don’t expect to get the truth about the Constitution of the United States from the government of the United States. The Framers of the Constitution drafted it with the intention of favoring the government at the expense of individual freedom.
The best way to learn the real meaning of the Constitution is to have enough printed copies so you can markup copies of the Constitution.
