TDLR: Three quarters (3/4 = 0.75) of states must ratify an Amendment to make it law per Article V of the Constitution. And once ratified, they cannot unratify. There is no time limit.
...when ratified by the Legislatures [General Assembly] of three fourths of the several States,...
-Article V
TONA = Titles of Nobility Amendment
It looks like Amendment XIII TONA was fully ratified on January 31, 1824 with Indiana General Assembly authorization to print their updated Laws with the 13th Amendment in its laws (i.e. ratification via authorized publication of General Assembly), making it 18 of 24 states = 0.75. Indiana was one of six states' General Assemblies that includes Virginia, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Mississippi (in that order) that ratified it this way (via publication) between 1819 and 1824.
#13--12MAR 1819--Virginia Ratification
#14--15MAR 1820--Maine Ratification (direct split from MA State #11)
#15--25SEP 1821--Connecticut Ratification
#16--07MAY 1822--Rhode Island Ratification
#17--20JAN 1824-- Mississippi Ratification (auth 27NOV 1821, print delayed)
#18--31JAN 1824--Indiana Ratification (18/24 = 0.75)
Several connected posts will be posted soon with links to all the documents so anons can comment/verify/poke holes in it. In the meantime, feel free to investigate.
Many old documents can be found here: https://archive.org/details/revisedlawsofind01indi/page/20/mode/2up [this is Indiana Laws published 1824 showing TONA as "Article 13" under Amendments.]
An additional post will be completed at some point on a suggested way to utilize the other "emoluments clause" [Article I, Sect9, Clause 8] along with this Amendment in Federal District Court/Circuit Court to get a court order to deport any lawyer or judge that you need to sue that has ever been a member of any STATE BAR CORPORATION.
For those not familiar, this is the text:
If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.
1810-AMENDMENT XIII IN ITS FINAL FORM AS APPROVED BY US SENATE ON APRIL 26, 1810 WITH A VOTE OF 26-1 WITH 7 ABSENT OR NOT VOTING (FOR THE 17 STATES AT THE TIME).
Additional states that ratified via "official General Assembly publication" and date (if known):
#15--01NOV 1824--Connecticut Re-ratification
#05--05MAR 1825--Pennsylvania Re-ratification
#19--04JUL 1825--Missouri Ratification (makes it 19/24 = 0.79)
#14--15JUL 1825--Maine Re-ratification
#20--19FEB 1827--Illinois Ratification (makes it 20/24 = 0.83)
#10--XXXXX 1828--North Carolina Re-ratification
#00--XXXXX 1829--New York RE-REJECTION (FU NY & SC!!!)
#18--XXXXX 1831--Indiana Re-ratification
#03--XXXXX 1831--Ohio Re-ratification
#20--XXXXX 1833--Illinois Re-ratification (still 20/24 = 0.83)
#03--XXXXX 1833--Ohio + NW Territory Re-ratification
STATE #25 ENTERED THE UNION IN 1836.
Main theory on why Andrew Jackson did not order his SOS to officially declare it "law" was because AJ was intent on destroying the Central Bank which really was the root of the corruption and foreign influence being addressed by TONA XIII, so he may have thought it was not worth the fight and would be irrelevant once he vetoed the 20 year Bank Charter (from 1816) renewal in 1832? and let it expire automatically in 1836 with liquidation beginning in 1841.
Plus, there is already a TONA section in Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution, it just doesn't have the automatic penalty associated with it.
"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."
Well, there goes Meghan Markle. We can officially deport her and Harry now. Kek.
Great point! but I don’t think they want them either…how about the entire Briben Biden admin and crime family inc. after all they are on China’s payroll…
Oh, but of course. Meghan and Harry are just a bonus.
Process likely will be SANCTION BY COURT->COURT ORDER STRIPPING CITIZENSHIP->SHERIFF ENFORCE->THEN FIND A CAUSE TO DEPORT; And best part is that it can be used in Citizen Constitutional Courts per 9A/10A. However, we need Constitutional Sheriffs to enforce the court orders and force removal of all citizenship benefits, including forced removal from any office.
Many of these corrupt jackholes will cave and do whatever you tell them to do (including resign) if you just threaten them with this.
0.75? huh?
3/4 of states must ratify an Amendment to make it officially "law", and once ratified, they cannot unratify. US Secretary of State is supposed to officially declare when this happens, but it is not required per Constitution. In this case both SOS's in 1824 (John Quincy Adams) and 1825 (Henry Clay) decided NOT to confirm because they likely would have lost their citizenships for accepting emoluments from Great Britain (this appears to be the case, imo), and neither wanted to risk being automatically removed from office.
Note that the Secretary of War (John C. Calhoun) authorized Military Laws of the United States updated on 30DEC 1824 after the election of 1824 (November) which included recently fully ratified TONA XIII, and it likely was printed prior to the 04MAR 1825 inauguration of JQA and the confirmation of HC as SOS sometime after 04MAR 1825; both were very likely actually ineligible to serve. [A copy of this official document was found in the Surgeon General's official Library and is available in PDF form]. https://greatawakening.win/p/16aTa2w00Z/checkmate-deep-state-bitches-mil/c/
Secretaries of State during TONA ratification era:
1809-1811 Robert Smith (notoriously incompetent)
1811-1817 James Monroe
1817-1825 John Quincy Adams (compromised by British?)
1825-1829 Henry Clay (compromised by British?)
1829-1831 Martin Van Buren
1831-1833 Edward Livingston
1833-1834 Louis McLane
1834-1837 John Forsyth
Ahh. Now I see. Ty fren!
Very good!
So Jackson effectively pocket vetoed it? It doesn't seem to be his style
It may not have been intentional, probably just lack of available bandwidth or energy to focus on this because the Bank battle was all consuming. It is suspected that the cabal murdered Jackson's wife because he refused to back down on 1828 new Democratic Party creation and run as a populist. There is also the possibility that the "loss of citizenship" penalty got integrated into the Military Laws permanently, and so the official Amendment became redundant.
The amount of energy and pushback required to hold back the cabal corruption and get rid of the Bank#2 was very likely all consuming.
So, let me confirm the short version of this, check me if I'm wrong:
The TONA was ratified generations ago, and is in the Constitution and active regardless of what any President did.
Under it, any US citizen accepting gifts or titles from foreign powers including royalty without Congress' permission is stripped of citizenship and ineligible for any public office.
All foreign bribe-takers fall under this rule.
All recipients of titles (Esquire) from foreign powers like the British Accreditation Registry (BAR) without permission from Congress fall under this, perhaps all practicing lawyers. (Like nurses, I'd hazard a guess that the legal assistants/aides know more about more anyway.)
Yes. Your summary covers it.
I believe that this is the core reason for all the lying and deception. If the criminals running our country have to deal with us trying to enforce this, they are done. Strict interpretation would imply that they are not just stripped of their citizenship and gov't position but all assets, profits, money, and benefits gained by them fraudulently holding a position they were not eligible for. This is likely 90-95% of the assets for all public officials that have accepted bribes and nearly 100% of all assets of Executives that have worked for foreign corporations, and NGOs.
We need Federal Marshals, Constitutional Sheriffs, or Military to enforce.
I agree. Everyone can help get proper sheriffs in place starting right now.
Now, please- how do you get those nifty line dividers into your text?
just use three underscores: "___" and then do it twice for double line; asterisks at front/end of text gives you green italic; I forget how to do the bold.
Thank you!
Bold is four asterisks
awesome. ty.
