MANIFESTING LOVE, AT THE MONTANA, BILLINGS, WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S RESCUE MISSION: (1) LAST NIGHT, I WAS TAKING A SHOWER, AND I COULD HEAR GOSPEL MUSIC, VERY LOUD, WHILE ENJOYING GETTING CLEAN, AND I THOUGHT, BRITNEY ONE OF MY ROOMMIES, PLAYS MUSIC, BUT IT IS USUALLY, SOMETHING LIKE, SHINEDOWN OR MODERN MUSIC, SO WONDERING WHY A WICCA RELIGIOUS CULT MEMBER, DELVING IN THE BLACK ARTS, AN AVOWED ANTI-CHRIST WAS PLAYING, GOSPEL MUSIC? AS I CAME OUT OF THE SHOWER, THERE WAS A REAL GOSPEL CHOIR SINGING IN THE CHAPEL, JUST DOWN THE HALL! ABOUT 20 MEMBERS OF THE "MENINITES" CHRISTIAN FAITH, FROM HARDIN, CAME TO SHARE, "CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SONGS" WITH US, AT THE MISSION, LIKE THEY, DID AT CHRISTMAS, OR SO I HEAR! CLEAN CUT, BRIGHT, HEALTHY, SHINY FACES, AND I WAS BAWLING, WITH TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE, HEARING THE WORDS OF THE FIRST SONG, I CAME TO LATE! SEVERAL OF THE GIRLS, SMILED AT ME, AND I WONDERED, DO THEY READ MY BLOG, KNOWING I AM STAYING AT THE MISSION? I BETTER STOP SWEARING! LOL!

FLOUR AND DOUGH ALL OVER THE PLACE, THEN YOU STILL HAD TO FROST THEM! LOL! SCREAM, SO THANK YOU, I WAS CRAVING SOME--EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS, GOOD MEMORIES, BUT THE MESS! (3) SOMEONE DROPPED OFF, SACKS OF FRESH CRISP APPLES, AND SWEET ORANGES! SO HEALTHY AND GOOD, AND SINCE IT IS PRESIDENT'S DAY, I KNOW, OR HAVE HEARD THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA, EATS AN APPLE A DAY, AND IT APPEARS, THAT IT HAS KEPT THE DOCTOR AWAY . . . I DON'T THINK, THE PREZ. HAS EVER TAKEN A SICK DAY! GOOD EXAMPLE! (4) SOME ON THE BALL, LOCAL COWGIRLS, HERE IN BILLINGS, ATTACKING, SPRING CLEANING, A FEW MONTHS EARLY, DROPPING OFF TONS OF TOYS, BAGS OF CLOTHES, AND OTHER FUN GOODIES, THAT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN, WANTED TO BREAK INTO, SEEING THE STYLING GALS, DROPPING OFF THE STUFF!

AMERICA SPENDS, $11 BILLION ON UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES A YEAR! THINK WHAT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, CAN DO NATIONWIDE, WITH WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND BIRTH CONTROL COVERED . . . BIRTH CONTROL, IS A HELL OF LOT CHEAPER THAN PAYING FOR A BABY, AND YOUNG GIRLS, OFTEN DON'T EVEN CONNECT, WHAT THEY DID TWO MONTHS EARLIER, ONCE, MAYBE, WITH THEIR SWOLLEN BELLY, NOW . . . THINK, GOOD, BETTER, BEST! WE CAN STOP ALL ABORTIONS, IF WE USE THE CHURCHES TO TEACH ABSTINENCE, SCHOOLS AND PARENTS TEACHING THE BIRDS & THE BEES, PLANNED PARENTHOOD, PROVIDING BIRTH CONTROL, AND WE COULD ERADICATE ABORTION . . . NOBODY, WANTS TO USE ABORTION AS BIRTH CONTROL! BUT IF YOU DON'T DEAL WITH REALITY, LIKE 80% OF TEENS HAVE HAD SEX, AT LEAST ONCE, BY THE TIME THEY GRADUATE, IT WILL DEAL WITH YOU! GRADUATION IS IMPORTANT! GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN, LOVE, CLOSENESS, INTIMACY TOO!

ONE CANDIDATE, HAS, AFTER, THE SHOOTINGS IN SAN BERNADENO, CALIFORNIA, A MONTH OR SO AGO, SAID, THAT, HE WOULD GET RID OF THE CONSTITUTION! NEWSFLASH, MR. TRUMP, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THE POWER, EVEN IF YOU BY SOME, FLUKE, GET ELECTED . . . WE DON'T WANT A PLUTOCRACY, A GOVERNMENT RUN BY YOU AND YOUR BILLIONAIRE, CRONY CAPITALIST FRIENDS, WHO BILKED THE TAX PAYERS, BACK IN 2008, IN THE BAIL OUT OF WALL STREET AND BANKS, FOR, AT LEAST, $700 BILLION! RULING ELITES DON'T BELONG IN AMERICA! YOU TOO, BLOOMBERG! KOCH BROTHERS! THEY USED TO CALL CANDIDATES, LIKE, ROOSEVELT, A "POPULIST," WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE!

BITCHES GET MY LIFE, I GET WHERE THE PILLOW PETS SHOULD BE! CIA FUCKERS! SORRY, SORRY, I CAN'T BE RATIONAL WHEN THEIR SHIT STINKS SO BAD!

THE JOB YOU ARE INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR!

United States Constitution, Article II, The Executive Branch, With Powers Vested in the President!

Some chick at the mission, very smart, strikes me as an undercover, cop, of some flavor, rather than the housekeeper, at the Cherry Inn Motel, Billings, when we were discussing politics, and the Constitution, of course, entered into the conversation, and she said, something about, that is worthless, surely a cop, and nobody believes or uses that any more--wishful thinking!  So, I have written this, in bullet form, because, I find, that real text intensive stuff, which the Constitution is not, is sometimes hard to wade through, but I am well aware that many of my readers, both here and in the global readership, are not as familiar with what our President does, and where the directions and instructions come from, and obviously, many of our own, even smart people, don't either, or they would clearly know, that, we use it all the time! roughly, 240 years down the road, touching bases, challenging, everything from, the Affordable Care Act, to the western states, wanting to take back federal land, and managing it themselves! 

Oh, just a quick note, dealing with a Constitutional law case, of monumental concern to Montanans, and a decision, that empowered, land and property owners, several years ago, the Hague case, can't remember the man's name, but he fought the feds, BLM, and other government agencies, over, what he called a property right, to the water on his property, if I recall, with a U.S. district court judge, in Nevada, ruling, that, Hague had a property interest, with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and three judges, not only reprimanding this judge, who wanted the BLM to call him, each time they made a decision, and overturned his case, finding that, as I have said, a million times, not only in my blog, but in my constitutional analysis, on the Salish-Kootenai Water Compact, that a water right, is NOT a property right, and you use it or lose it, and all water rights for the Indians, are for the USE and BENEFIT of the tribe, not giving ownership of the Flathead, nor the power to control all the water rights, on and off the Reservations!  While Native Americans, are a nation within a nation, they are still subject to the United States and the President, has powers over them! and they are bound by the U.S. Constitution, first and treaties, next, with only Congress having the power to deal with the Indians, as seen in both the Treaties Clause, of the Constitution, and in the Enabling Act of the Montana Constitution . . . and yes, I have said that all the way along!

The Montana Supreme Court put out a great legal booklet, that I wrote about, last year, discovering it at the Butte or Silver Bow Library, in the entry way, and each time, I would make reference to the booklet, it would be hidden under the Mountain Trader!  Perhaps the attorneys and the judges, got some information from, this booklet, since, Montana, has a treasure drove, of water, being just one of the reasons, it is called the Treasure State . . . don't let a plutocracy of Montanans, stealing MY money, and fooling you into thinking they are the attorney with the United States Supreme Court Membership!  I am, sincerely, honestly and truly, at the Billings, Montana Rescue Mission, and right now, I am at the lovely, cafe, in the atrium of the Billings Clinic, one of the most delightful places, to write this blog!  I would say, the only other competition, for my favorite place to write this blog, is the Durango Library, in Durango, Colorado, because of the setting, over looking the Animus River, rafters, the jogging trails, and watching the Durango-Silverton Railroad Train, old steam engine, blowing its horns, steam shooting skyward, and happy riders, waving at the patrons of the Library, with the Botanical Gardens, below!  So cool . . . a library is a show case for the city, not that I want, every town and city to run out an approve a bond, to change their libraries, but, just keep in mind, when the time comes to update, that, the libraries, makes a statement about the community, and the Billings Public Library is wonderful!  I think, it is only a year old, great!

POWERS & DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT

I left out, all the stuff on the qualifications like age, and the electoral college, letting the political parties, do their job, and this bad ass con law chick, doing her, self appointed job, of educating, the public, in being true to my oath and affirmation, as an attorney, taken, October 3, 1993, I think, at the Utah State Capitol Rotunda, to do basically, the same thing the President takes an oath to do, as do all elected local, state and national officials, appointed and nominated, so a big, fucking deal!

• Executive power shall be vested in the President
• no person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States (without looking it up, to refresh, previous studies, I believe, that there is a distinction here, between natural born citizens, those born, to parents, while in other countries, serving in the military, or born to American parents, or an American mother, as was the case with both, President Obama, even if he was born in Kenya, which he was not, he was born in Hawaii, and Senator John McCain, was born in Panama, and or a citizen, of the United States, born on U.S.A. soil . . . the plain language, suggests, the possibility, to me, that, those who have taken out citizenship, could, I would have to look closer at the intent and history!) may hold the office of president
• they must have obtained the age of 35 years
• been a resident of the United States for fourteen years, at least (the residency requirement sheds some light too!)
• oath and affirmation: --"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.  (unlimited budgets, unchecked powers, of law enforcement agencies, NSA, CIA, FBI, violating, our Constitutional rights?  We had a chance, last summer to revamp, and refuse to renew the Patriot Act, and failed, Republicans! and the next day, FBI surveillance planes, were reported, over the article, reporting the Congress, didn't sunset the Patriot Act, like, in your face, America, the Patriot Act agencies, are above the law, the covered agencies, answer to no one, and nobody knows our budget!  It was not two week later, while sitting, at the Wrigley Sports Bar and Grill in Grand Junction, Colorado, after being chased for several hours, by local cops, you know the ones that are not working for the local cop shop, but working for "a" cop shop on their spare time! and as I was writing my blog, at 4:45 A.M., on North Avenue, I heard a plane or helicopter, can't remember, fly overhead, and first, turn my computer screen RED, then shut it DOWN!  The President oversees, and Congress votes!  Tell me, my First Amendment rights were NOT violated!, in more than one way, as the NSA is chiming in right now too!).
• shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states (the official militia, spoken of here, is the National Guard, trained under the military of the United States, not to be confused with the states constitutions, that make every able bodied male, or female, in some more progressive states, or makes no distinction in sex, with some between the age of 18 and 45, like in the Utah Constitution. When the National Guard is not being used by the President, the Governor of the several states can use and command to put down insurrections and rebellions in their state . . . when the cops showed up in Ferguson, Missouri, with tanks, riot gear and machine guns, and a ton of anger, seemingly protecting, Officer Wilson, Gov. Nixon, called in National Guard to keep the peace.)
• he may require the opinion in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments upon any subject relating to the duties of the respective officers (Benghazi, State Department, Secretary of State, CIA Director, military leaders, etc., . . . VA officers, morning briefings of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, cabinet meetings).
• he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardon for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment (didn't President Ford, grant a pardon to President Nixon?  Congress impeached him?  So?  Sorry, I am a strict, constructionist!).
• he 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 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;
• but the Congress may by law rest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or the heads of departments.
• The President, shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session;
• he shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;
• he may on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, with respect to the time of adjournment he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper;
• he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers;
• he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
• The President and the Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
