OUR "LIVING LEGACY" THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
I. Preamble--Why our Constitution matters
II. Articles--7 articles of federal power
III. Bill of Rights--Amendments
Below are constitutional amendments currently affecting the U.S.
FIRST AMENDMENT--Free Speech and Press
Government cannot:
1.Make an official national religion or stop people from practicing their own.
2.Punish people for expressing their views or reporting news.
3. Stop people from peacefully protesting
4. Stop people from asking the government to fix a problem.
FIFTH AMENDMENT--Fair treatment by the Federal Government
Our Government must:
1. Use a grand jury to bring serious federal charges.
2. Not try to punish a person twice for the same crime.
3. Not try to force a person to give testimony that could incriminate the person.
4. Follow fair legal procedures before taking away a person's freedom, life, or property.
5. Pay a person fairly if it takes a person's property for public use.
15th, 19th, 26th AMENDMENTS--RIGHT TO VOTE WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION AND RESTRICTIONS.
THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT --LIMITED POWER to avoid an "Abuse of Power"
Legislative--Congress (representatives and senators) makes the laws.
Executive--President carries out and enforces the laws.
Judicial--(Supreme Court) Determines whether laws made follow the Constitution.
It is the responsibility of U.S. Representatives and Senators to investigate Presidential wrongdoing.
If Congress believes that the President has committed treason, bribery or serious abuses of office, the House of Representatives can impeach the President, and the Senate can hold a trial. A two-third Senate vote is required to convict and remove the president--meaning 2 out of 3 senators must agree that the president is guilty.

IMPORTANT READ
If primaries become closed, they are called "Closed primaries" and is the most restrictive system meaning only voters registered as members of our two major political parties (Democrat/Republican) can vote in that party’s primary. A registered Democrat can only vote in the Democratic primary. A registered Republican can only vote in the Republican primary. Voters registered as Independent, Unaffiliated, or with a Different party (Green Party, Libertarian Party, Constitution Party, Socialist Party, Independence Party, Reform Party, etc.) CANNOT participate in the primary in a Closed Primary System. The other parties have their own primaries and cannot vote in the major party primaries.

(NPVIC)
Electoral Votes: These are the votes, not the money, that decide who becomes president, based on each state's electors and population. Electoral votes will determine who wins the 2028 U.S. presidential election.
What Are Electors? Each state picks individuals—loyal party members, politicians, or community leaders to represent their political party or electoral votes in the Electoral College. PICK WORKING PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL ROLES IN OUR COUNTRY--NOT POLITICAL PROSTITUTES!
The Electoral College is a system used in the United States to formally elect the president and vice president of the United States. It consists of 538 electors. Each state has a number of electors based on its population, plus Washington, D.C., which has 3 electors.
For Example:
California: 55 electors (2 Senators + 53 Representatives)
Texas: 40 electors (2 Senators + 38 Representatives)
Florida: 30 electors (2 Senators + 28 Representatives)
Wyoming: 3 electors (2 Senators + 1 Representative, regardless of its small population)
Washington, D.C.: 3 electors (granted by law, even without voting members in Congress)
Larger states have more electors, while smaller states have at least 3. Larger states have more electors due to their higher populations, while smaller states, like Wyoming, have a minimum of 3 electors regardless of population.
Election Day: Voters choose a presidential candidate. The candidate who gets the most votes in a state usually receives all that state’s electoral votes (except in Maine and Nebraska). Maine and Nebraska:
- Maine (4 votes): 2 votes to the statewide winner and 1 vote for each congressional district.
- Nebraska (5 votes): 2 votes to the statewide winner and 1 vote for each of its 3 districts.
Electoral Votes: Each state has a number of electoral votes based on its population. More people mean more votes.
Winning the Presidency: A candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes out of 538 to win. This ensures the winner reflects the most votes from all voters, not just from individual states.
National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC): Currently, 15 states and Washington, D.C. have joined this compact, totaling 196 electoral votes. 74 more are needed to reach 270 electoral votes, which would make every vote count in the 2028 Presidential election.
