…

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a just and fair Compensation, irrevocable security, travel, reasonable home, and vacations which shall neither be encreased [[nor diminished ]] during the Period for which he shall have been elected nor diminished during his life, and to maintain independence, avoid corruption and the loss of public trust in the government by manifest appearance of impropriety, he shall not receive within that Period any other tip, reward, contract, donation, contribution such as, e.g., a luxury airplane, recreational vehicle, gold, diamond ‘art’, bag of money, fishing, island, or golfing holidays, travel, real estate, bribe, bad faith court settlement, or Emolument (construed broadly to include anything of value to the president and/or any strawman such as, e.g., the President’s Official Library, campaign, family, attorney, trust, corporation, … or other such strawman, mutatis mutandis) from the United States, or any of them.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States as laid out under Article I above – and such service shall be solely and exclusively abroad and outside the United States – however, the President may never, himself, call into such actual Service within the United States, itself, for domestic law enforcement against citizens of the United States, any of them, the Congress, administrative agencies, or the Courts under a broad Posse Comitatus, separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism approach; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the solely and exclusively executive Departments except for the Department of Justice, itself, to thereby maintain political independence of the Attorney General and the director of the FBI – and any independent administrative agencies established by Congress and ratified by a President, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices – but, to establish independence, avoid corruption, or appearance of impropriety and maintain separation of powers, limited executive, and checks and balances, he shall not have the power to command or unduly influence an outcome, decision, access or modify underlying data, studies, legal opinions, or attorney work-product, remove or reassign said officer, diminish or increase such officer’s pay or imprison or deport said officer or his family or any other such action meant to unduly influence the independence of such officer, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment – or of cases where: (1) he himself incited or gave aid and comfort to domestic political violence, coup, riot, or insurrection; (2) where the president attempts to pardon himself or his family, attorney, accountant, subordinate, trustee, or insurrector; or (3) child rapists and their conspirators.

Article. III.

Section. 1.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour but not more than 20 years – and NO rewards, tips, gratis, honorariums, bribes, donations, paid fishing, island, or golf getaways, luxury travel, recreational vehicles, school fees for children or grandchildren (to be construed broadly) shall be allowed – as corruption of the Court and the mere appearance of impropriety should be avoided at all costs to restore the public faith in the Judiciary, the Rule of Law, fair, equitable, and blind administration of Justice, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a just and fair Compensation including irrevocable security detail, security clearance, a home, travel, and reasonable vacations, which shall not be diminished during their [[Continuance in Office]] life unless impeached.

The supreme Court Judges, having reached 20 years of service – shall form an independent Justice and Ethics committee with binding authority to order Judges to show cause as to why they should not be recused or removed for bad behavior including unethical conduct or conflict of interest to avoid appearance of impropriety.  Until such time as a quorum of 3 Judges shall have retired from active service – having reached their 20 year term, the committee may be composed of retired federal judges nominated by the Chief Justice and confirmed by a majority of the supreme Court Judges – such appointees shall receive all protections and benefits of Judges of the Supreme Court and the responsibilities therewith.  The Chief Justice and such Justice and Ethics committee shall act in good faith and with all due haste to effect the spirit of this section and to eliminate corruption from (and remedy distrust of) the Court.  Said Justice and Ethics committee shall strive to be transparent and prompt in publishing ethics opinions – and dissents shall they arise.

Article. VI.

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, [[and]] the Members of the several State Legislatures, any legal or constructive entities formed or established, and all executive and judicial Officers (including e.g., the President and supreme Court Judges respectively), both of the United States and of the several States (mutatis mutandis), shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

…

First Amendment

We The People, uniquely, having a sense of morality, conscience, duty, affinity, justice, liberty, and ethics and also fear, pain, hunger, mortality – whereas, in opposition, merely legal or constructive entities such as, e.g., for-profit corporations do not and instead merely maximize shareholder value or some other aligned goal – thus, to protect people and promote those people being able to positively affect government and to preserve their rights: 

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech for real people, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.  Care must be taken to protect bona fide free speech – (even that which may be unpleasant) but distinguishing between speech towards forming a more perfect union or good society on one hand – and disruptive foreign or artificial speech for the speaker’s own profit towards sowing disunity, war, and hatred (especially of the little guy) on the other as an end into itself.  Hate speech and trolling may be profitable – but we cannot build a society where hate-speech is incentivized and profits flow to false prophets.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
