Wednesday, 17 September is the anniversary of the passage of The Constitution by the Philadelphia Convention in 1787.
For quite a while now, it has also been known as ‘Citizenship Day’, which the Library Of Congress explains:
Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is observed each year on September 17 to commemorate the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, and “recognize all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become citizens.”
This commemoration had its origin in 1940, when Congress passed a joint resolution authorizing and requesting the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the third Sunday in May for the public recognition of all who had attained the status of American citizenship. The designation for this day was “I Am An American Day.”
In 1952 Congress repealed this joint resolution and passed a new law moving the date to September 17 to commemorate “the formation and signing, on September 17, 1787, of the Constitution of the United States.” The day was still designated as “Citizenship Day” and retained its original purpose of recognizing all those who had attained American citizenship. This law urged civil and educational authorities of states, counties, cities and towns to make plans for the proper observance of the day and “for the complete instruction of citizens in their responsibilities and opportunities as citizens of the United States and of the State and locality in which they reside.”
In 2004 under Senator Byrd’s urging, Congress changed the designation of this day to “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day” and added two new requirements in the commemoration of this Day….
Since (1) ‘Obama’*, The Jarrett Junto, and the other Leftist crime families have rendered The Constitution inoperative and (2) those same violators of their Oaths Of Office so despise our Supreme Law Of The Land that they never miss an opportunity to denigrate it and mock it, I would not be surprised if, in another example of their juvenile malice towards all things American, the Administration would pick the date of the birth of The Constitution to perform the heinous and dastardly deed of granting Amnesty to those who have invaded this country.
Would it surprise you?
