Amendment 27 cont.

Here is a short written out piece of the 27th amendment, there were not many good graphics that I wanted to share on my blog.

Amendment 27

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

This amendment notes that laws can not be passed until the representatives have gone over it. 

Amendment 26 cont.

Here is an image of the youth promoting that they can vote after the 26th amendment.

Amendment 26 cont.

The child in this picture is clearly not 18 but the point is that he is too young, and the 26th amendment says that 18 year olds can vote.

Amendment 26

SECTION 1.

The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.

SECTION 2.

The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This amendment gives the right to vote at the age of 18 because I guess the government thinks the age of 18 is when you can make your own rational decisions. 

Amendment 25 cont.


This is a video done by students reenacting the Kennedy shooting for the 25th amendment.

This is a picture of an empty presidents chair, luckily thanks to the 25th amendment we won't have to worry about finding a new president because the VP would take over.
