6 Things in the Constitution................

 

 

 

 

1. Not all votes of the members present need be recorded in the official journal.

"...the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal." In other words, if less than one-fifth want to include the actual votes then they are left out of the official record.

2. Neither House can meet anywhere different without agreement

"Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."

3. A Congressman cannot be arrested for misdemeanors on the way to the Hill

"[Senators and Representatives] shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same...."

4. Congressmen shall not be questioned for speeches in either House

"...and for any Speech or Debate in either House, [Congressmen] shall not be questioned in any other Place." I wonder how many Congressmen have used that defense on CNN or Fox News.

5. No one can be convicted of treason without two witnesses or confession

"No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court." One person is not enough.

6. The President can adjourn Congress

"[The President] may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper." While many people know that the president can call a special session of Congress, it is less well known that he can actually adjuorn them if they disagree about when they want to adjourn.

Happy Fathers Day!

              I Would believe that most Fathers start out Feeling like this!

                         Then sort of grow into the Life long Position!

                         They all have one thing in common, they all have

                                               Dadisms....................

    Don't ask me, ask your mother.

    I'll play catch after I read the paper.

    Coffee will stunt your growth.

    A little dirt never hurt anyone--just wipe it off..

    Get your elbows off the table.

    This is your last warning.

    I'm not just talking to hear my own voice!

    Stop crying or I'll give you a reason to cry.

    Don't forget to check your oil.

    You're only young once.

    You're gonna like it, whether you like it or not!

    The early bird gets the worm. Rise and shine!

    If your friend jumped off a bridge would you?

    You have things so easy!

    Don't look at me in that tone of voice!

    What do you think this is, your birthday?

    How many times do I have to pound that into your head?

    What part of NO don't you understand?

    I don't care what other people are doing! I'm not everybody else's father!

    Didn't your teacher learn you anything?!

    Two wrongs do not make a right.

    Don't use that tone with me!

    Am I talking to a brick wall?

    If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...

    Wipe your feet!

    Enough is enough!

    Don't make me stop the car!

    What did I just get finished telling you

    You'll realize the value of money once you start earning.

    Turn off those lights. Do you think I am made of money?

    

    Now you listen to ME, Buster!

    I told you... Now see.

    I told you, keep your eye on the ball.

    This will hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.

    We're not lost. I'm just not sure where we are.

    When I was your age, I treated MY father with respect.

    As long as you live under my roof, you'll live by my rules.

    I'll tell you why. Because I said so. That's why.

    Do what I say, not what I do.    

   but no matter what         WE ALL LOVE FATHERS!
