Section 5 Fourteenth Amendment United States Constitution
After Confederates had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of loyal young Union soldiers – leaving them to rot with the crows where they fell – and after grieving Americans buried a murdered President, their Congress removed slavery and racism from the Constitution. Their 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments protect the Constitution’s first national right of all Americans – equal protection of the law. Then they armed the 14th.
Meet their little friend.
“Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.” Section 5.
Congress and the President can enforce equal protection of the law simply with appropriate legislation – without need to amend the Constitution formally.
Section 5 hands to each new generation of Americans the power to enforce equal protection of the law constitutionally – with legislation. If American voters return control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the President to the Democratic Party, the United States Constitution can be amended by majority vote to strengthen equal protection with appropriate legislation.

Nothing about us without us. America 3.0
“A republic if you can keep it.”
Thank you Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney and Colin Kaepernik for standing vigil through the night so that democracy prevailed even for the youngest of Americans.
The Constitution limits power, not rights.
E Pluribus Unum
