Cord Byrd: “In the original Constitution, there are six. In the 12th amendment, there is one dealing with the election of the Vice…”

“In the original Constitution, there are six. In the 12th amendment, there is one dealing with the election of the Vice President by the Senate. In the 14th, there is one dealing with the waiving--in the case of individuals who have taken oaths of office and who participate in a rebellion against the country, two-thirds of the Congress may waive that and allow the person--two-thirds may waive that disability. And in the 25th amendment, where it talks about the disability of the President, there is a supermajority. So, Senator, when you start talking about the Constitution, let us both sit down and read it together. There are not eight, or whatever the Senator said. There are six in the original, one in the 12th, one in the 14th, and one in the 25th amendments to the Constitution, making a total of nine. That is a minor matter.”
