In this episode, Jason continues the discussion of the Executive branch. He explains how the process of electing the President of the United States was originally set forth.

In this episode, Jason begins discussing the Executive branch in Article II. He begins with the establishment of the office of President of the United States with its 4 year term and finishes with a discussion about the sole authority state legislatures have in appointing presidential electors. This clause was front and center in the disastrous 2020 presidential election.

In this episode, Jason wraps up the discussion on Article I finishing with Section 10 dealing with the limits to state powers. These limits are to protect individual rights as well as ensure that states do not undermine or work against the powers given to the central government.

In this episode, Jason closes out the discussion of Article I, Section 9 including clauses 4 through 8. Each of these final clauses limits Congress in some way: from preventing direct taxation and taxing exports to preventing the interference of commerce with the states, barring titles of nobility, and ensuring Congress constitutionally authorizes the spending of money BEFORE it is withdrawn from the treasury.

In this episode, Jason explains a few of the "terms of art" that are used in the Constitution in Article I, Section 9: Writ of Habeas Corpus, Bill of Attainder, & ex post facto laws. These terms are all authorities that are specifically denied to Congress with extremely limited exceptions. Tune in to find out why these are part of what Jason calls the Bill of Rights 1.0.

In this episode, Jason breaks down Article I, Section 9, Clause 1 which denied Congress the ability to prohibit the importation and migration of people into America until 1808. He discusses the reasons for this clause and the debates and considerations by opposing sides.
