The Constitution of the United States is the founding document that defines our rights and laws. It has been in place for more than 200 years, but many Americans don't know what it says or how it affects them. In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America, Jim and Dan talk about an overview of the constitution.

We have allowed them to get out of control because people aren't reading the constitution. People read the second amendment. But they don't understand what the president's allowed to do, what the Congress is allowed to do, and what the Supreme Court is allowed to do." "You have to start voting for your conscience. You have to start voting for what's important to you. Stop putting guys who are voting for themselves, who are voting for their longevity in Congress, and who are voting against the constitution." "If you allow the same slimeball politicians to get re-elected, you deserve what's coming your way because you allow this to happen." "The constitution never tells the government what they are not allowed to do. The constitution tells the government what they are allowed to do. And if it is not there, they are allowed to do it." Engage with JimEmail  [email protected] How to get connectedFacebook
