LOGIC PROOF

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES ABDICATED ITS LAWFUL AUTHORITY TO
GOVERN BY THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE ON MAY 31, 1913 AND BECAME AN
ILLEGITIMATE OCCUPATION GOVERNMENT DERIVING NO AUTHORITY TO GOVERN FROM
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

Premises:

1.It is a principle of law that a statute or law or legal procedure (or
whatever) which is null and void on Constitutional grounds is null and
void not merely from the time its nullity is discovered and proved, but
from the moment of its inception. 16 Am Jur 177

2.The Constitution of the United States is written in plain English.

3.The Constitution of the United States is internally self-consistent.
[Therefore, any 'interpretation' of the plain english meaning of the
words and phrases of the Constitution which results in internal
inconsistency is a false interpretation.]

4.In the absence of ratification of a proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, the original Constitution remains in
force unamended. 

[NOTE: Pick up your copy of the Constitution of the United States to
follow along here if you wish.]

Fact Set 1:

1.Throughout the Constitution of the United States, the word "States"
and the word "People" are consistently used to refer to separate and
distinct political entities with separate and distinct political needs
and objectives.

2.Throughout the Federalist Papers, since the beginning of our nation
regarded as representing the "intent" of the founding fathers, the word
"States" and the word "People" are consistently used to refer to
separate and distinct political entities with separate and distinct
political needs and objectives.

Conclusion #1: The terms "States" and "People" refer to separate and
distinct political entities in all places they are used in the
Constitution of the United States as originally written and amended. 

Fact Set 2:

1.Article I Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States provides
and requires that "All legislative powers herein granted shall be
vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a
Senate and a House of Representatives."

2.Article I Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States provides
and requires that "The House of Representatives shall be composed of
members chosen every second year by the people of the several States,
and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite
for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.

3.Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States provides
and requires that "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of
two Senators from each State, chosen by the legislature thereof, for
six years; and each Senator shall have one vote."

4.[Conclusion #1 restated] The terms "States" and "People" refer to
separate and distinct political entities in all places they are used in
the Constitution of the United States as originally written and
amended. 

Conclusion #2: The People, as a separate and distinct political entity,
are to be represented by their chosen Representatives in the House of
Representatives.

Conclusion #3: The States on the other hand, as separate and distinct
political entities, are to be represented in the Senate.

Conclusion #4: The Congress of the United States, finally, is to
consist of the Representatives of the People and the Representatives of
the States in congress (the word essentially means "together"). 

Fact Set 3:

1.Article 5 of the Constitution of the United States provides and
requires the only means of lawfully amending the Constitution of the
United States.

2.As a limitation on what provisions of the U.S. Constitution may be
amended and under what circumstances, Article 5 of the Constitution of
the United States provides and requires "... that no State without its
consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate." 

Conclusion #5: The separate representation of the States in the Senate,
and representation of the People in the House of Representatives, must
have been pretty important to the founding fathers, for if even one
State fails to ratify a proposed amendment which would work to deprive
the States of their equal suffrage in the Senate, the proposed
amendment fails of ratification. 

Fact Set 4:

1.[Restated] Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the United
States defines "Senate" as consisting of "two Senators from each State,
chosen by the legislature thereof". (Emphasis added.)

2.Proposed Amendment Seventeen (1913) to the Constitution of the United
States, Clause 1, if ratified, would redefine "Senate of the United
States" as "two Senators from each State, elected by the people
thereof". (Emphasis added.)

3.If the States, as separate and distinct political entities from the
People, are deprived of their equal Representation in the Senate, then
they are deprived of their equal suffrage (vote) in the Senate. 

Conclusion #6: The proposed Seventeenth Amendment, if ratified, would
deprive the States (as political entities distinct from the People) of
their equal suffrage in the Senate. 

Fact Set 5:

1.[Conclusion #5 restated] The separate representation of the States in
the Senate, and representation of the People in the House of
Representatives, must have been pretty important to the founding
fathers, for if even one State fails to ratify a proposed amendment
which would work to deprive the States of their equal suffrage in the
Senate, the proposed amendment fails of ratification.

2.[Conclusion #6 restated] The proposed Seventeenth Amendment, if
ratified, would deprive the States (as political entities distinct from
the People) of their equal suffrage in the Senate.

3.According to their legislative records, UTAH and DELAWARE each
withheld their consent to being deprived of their equal suffrage in the
Senate by voting to reject the proposed Seventeenth Amendment.

4.According to their legislative records, eight other States withheld
their consent to being deprived of their equal suffrage in the Senate
by taking no action at all on the proposed amendment. 

Conclusion #7: The proposed Seventeenth Amendment was not ratified
pursuant to Article 5 of the Constitution of the United States.

Fact Set #6:

1.[Conclusion #7 restated] The proposed Seventeenth Amendment was not
ratified pursuant to Article 5 of the Constitution of the United States.

2.[First premise restated] It is a principle of law that a statute or
law or legal procedure (or whatever) which is null and void on
Constitutional grounds is null and void not merely from the time its
nullity is discovered and proved, but from the moment of its inception.
16 Am Jur 177 

Conclusion #8: The proposed Seventeenth Amendment was and is null and
void and carries no force or weight or obligation of Law and the
proposed Seventeeth Amendment has been null and void and has carried no
force or weight or obligation of Law since the moment of its inception
(May 31, 1913). 

Fact Set #7:

1.[Third Premise restated] In the absence of ratification of a proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the original
document remains in force unamended.

2.[Restated] Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the United
States provides and requires that "The Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the
legislature thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one
vote."

3.No Senator of the United States has been chosen by the legislature of
any State pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the
United States since May 31, 1913. 

Conclusion #10: No "Senate of the United States" as defined by the
Constitution of the United States has existed since the first
individual usurped the office of "Senator of the United States" without
having been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution
of the United States. 

Fact Set #8:

1.[Fact Set 2, Fact #1]: Article I Section 1 of the Constitution of the
United States provides and requires that "All legislative powers herein
granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall
consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives."

2.[Conclusion #10] No "Senate of the United States" as defined by the
Constitution of the United States has existed since the first
individual usurped the office of "Senator of the United States" without
having been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution
of the United States. 

Conclusion #11: No "Congress of the United States" has existed since
the first individual usurped the office of "Senator of the United
States" without having been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of
the Constitution of the United States.

Conclusion #12: No "legislative powers" have been granted or vested in
any institution since the first individual usurped the office of
"Senator of the United States" without having been chosen pursuant to
Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States.

Fact Set #9:

1.[Conclusion #12 above] No "legislative powers" have been granted or
vested in any institution since the first individual usurped the office
of "Senator of the United States" without having been chosen pursuant
to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States.

2.Without "legislative powers" delegated to government by the People,
any law or statute or code or administrative regulation purportedly
"passed" by anyone is but mere "color of law" -- not pursuant to the
Constitution of the United States, not binding, not having any lawful
force or weight of law, null and void. 

Conclusion #13: No legislation (law or statute) has been lawfully
passed by any "Congress of the United States" since the first
individual usurped the office of "Senator of the United States" without
having been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution
of the United States. 

Fact Set #10:

1.Article II Section 2 Clause 2 of the Constitution of the United
States provides and requires that the President "shall have power, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties,
provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall
nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall
appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the
Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States whose
appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be
established by law."

2.[Conclusion #11 restated] No 'Senate of the United States' as defined
by the Constitution of the United States has existed since the first
individual usurped the office of 'Senator of the United States' without
having been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution
of the United States. 

CONCLUSION #14: No treaties have been made, no ambassadors, public
ministers, consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, or other officers of
the United States have been appointed since the first individual
usurped the office of 'Senator of the United States' without having
been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the
United States. 

Fact Set #11:

existed since the first individual usurped the office of "Senator of
the United States" without having been chosen pursuant to Article I
Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States.

2.[Conclusion #12 restated] No "legislative powers" have been granted
or vested in any institution since the first individual usurped the
office of "Senator of the United States" without having been chosen
pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution of the United
States.

3.[Conclusion #13 restated] No legislation (law or statute) has been
lawfully passed by any "Congress of the United States" since the first
individual usurped the office of "Senator of the United States" without
having been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution
of the United States.

4.[CONCLUSION #14 restated] No treaties have been made, no ambassadors,
public ministers, consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, or other
officers of the United States have been appointed since the first
individual usurped the office of 'Senator of the United States' without
having been chosen pursuant to Article I Section 3 of the Constitution
of the United States. 

CONCLUSION #9: The EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE, and JUDICIAL Branches of the
government of the United States as established by the Constitution of
the United States are -- simply and conclusively -- out of business. 

Fact Set #12:

1.The illusion of a government of the United States persists.

2.The illusion of a government of the United States has and exercises
the power to compel obedience regardless of the provisions of the
Constitution of the United States herein mentioned.

3.[CONCLUSION #9] The EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE, and JUDICIAL Branches of
the government of the United States as established by the Constitution
of the United States are -- simply and conclusively and irrevocably --
out of business. 

FINAL CONCLUSION: The current existing government of the United States
is an Occupation Government deriving no just or lawful authority from
the formal Consent of the People conveyed by the Constitution of the
United States, but deriving its (unjust and unlawful) authority from
the informal acquiescence and capitulation of the People in the face of
intimidation, coercion, oppression, and economic power.
